Use Qt instead of wx for variable browser

[kdavies4]

QT is used more widely, and it still seems to be difficult to get wx running with Python 3.

From email to Sebastian Stratbücker 4/25/14:

ModelicaRes only uses wx for two things:

• a directory selector (wx.DirSelector) in the save function ofbase.py
• a fairly simple variable browser (SimRes.browser()) which relies on code in gui.py.

The variable browser provides an expandable tree of Modelica variables via SimRes.nametree(). When a variable is highlighted, a plot is shown using (SimRes.plot()) and the variable name, description (SimRes.get_description()), unit (SimRes.get_unit()), and displayUnit (SimRes.get_displayUnit()) are listed. Please feel free to change or embellish that functionality. Nothing is set in stone.

It may also be good to use QT in the bin/loadres script instead of easygui.

Now using PyQt4 instead of easygui but still need to eliminate wx.

wx is no longer needed for installation. It's only loaded when the browse() method is called. I switched from PyQt4 to PySide because it worked more easily and it has better licensing.

Is this issue still open? I could only find the use of the wx within the browse() method, so... I created a little routine to use PyQt4 (populate the SimRes values into a QTreeWidget with QTreeWidgetItems)

wxPython is now available for python 3.5 as well. With some small changes, the browse() function in the simres-module is available again.
