Ability to make Python QT Panel Script

Deadline
1

Hello! First-time poster here.

I’m a Wrangler hoping to develop convenient solutions via Python and the API, but I came across a fork in the road. I want to make a window/display/panel to actively watch important jobs that need to get through, I was working on developing with the POST API as an entirely separate program, which is slow but functional, but I just figured out how easy it is to creating tooling within the deadline environment (? Scripts folder?).

Main question is: Is it possible to create a panel, dockable or undocked, that doesn’t lock up the rest of the Deadline UI when active?

Thank you in advance!

Update: Yes this is possible great place to start with making custom pyQT widgets: CustomQtDialog.py in Official Thinkbox Deadline Github Repo

The easiest implementation of this specific use-case that I found was to add a unique comment using the Deadline Users’ username and have a separate job panel that is filtered by that. Ex script to apply “Watched by christopher.kornosky” and then having a job panel that filters by that.
