What is Emacs Application Framework?
Emacs Application Framework is a development framework that developers can develop any PyQt program and integrate into Emacs.
This framework mainly implements three functions:
- Integrate PyQt program window into Emacs Frame using Xlib Reparent technology
- Listening to EAF buffer's keyboard event flow and controlling the keyboard input of PyQt program via DBus IPC
- Created a window compositer to make the PyQt program window adapt Emacs's Window/Buffer design
Using this framework, you can use PyQt develop powerful graphics programs to extend Emacs

Why this awesome framework can't works with MacOS?
There are mainly three obstacles:
- I can't make dbus/python-dbus works on MacOS High Sierra
- This framework need use X11 reparent to stick Qt5 window to emacs frame, but i don't know how to make X11 works on MacOS.
- Qt5 QGraphicsView/QGraphicsScene can't work MacOS, specify QGraphicsVideoItem can't work.
