πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

pyside6-metaobjectdump β€” okay bestie, this is the metaobjectdump tool, and she is literally the girl who turns your Python source into QML-friendly metadata ✨


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: you call her like this πŸ‘‡

metaobjectdump.py [-h] [--compact] [--suppress-file] [--quiet] [--out-file OUT_FILE] files [files ...]

and she goes and parses Python source code to create QObject metatype information in JSON format for qmltyperegistrar. That's it, that's the whole job, and she eats every single time πŸ”₯πŸ‘‘

πŸŽ€ positional arguments πŸŽ€

  • files β€” Python source file. Yes queen, feed her your source files πŸ“

✨ options ✨

  • -h, --help β€” show this help message and exit. The classic "wait what does this do again" rescue button 🫢
  • --compact, -c β€” Use compact format. Small output, big energy πŸ’…
  • --suppress-file, -s β€” Suppress inputFile entry (for testing). Not me hiding the receipts πŸ™ˆ
  • --quiet, -q β€” Suppress warnings. Living your life unbothered, no cap πŸ’€
  • --out-file, -o OUT_FILE β€” Write output to file rather than stdout. Main character move: give her a destination, not just a screen ✨

fr fr, that's the whole page β€” no hidden flags, no secret lore, every option up there is the real deal πŸ’–

okay and one last thing 🌈 β€” this whole thing is pyside6-metaobjectdump version 6.11, from September 2026, part of the PySide6 tools family, and I am obsessed with her, periodt πŸ¦‹πŸŒΈπŸ‘‘
