New generator architecture

The current Boost.Python based generator will be replaced with a new one called Shiboken in December 2009 or January 2010. Once this happens, the library footprint will be reduced by approximately 60% and porting will be much easier. Bindings generated with the new generator will be API-compatible with the current ones.

Pythonic API

In the future, PySide API will be modified to better support more Pythonic constructs and interfaces. These changes will probably be backwards-incompatible, and therefore a PSEP (PySide Enhancement Proposal) process is used to involve the community in the design process.

The old API will be supported along the new one to maintain backwards-compatibility.

Python 3.x support

The core dev team will start work on Python 3 support soon after the Shiboken transition is finished.
