Requirements

Building from sources

Setting up CLANG

wget http://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/libclang/libclang-release_39-mac.7z
  • Extract the files, e.g.
7z x libclang-release_39-mac.7z
  • Export the installation path to the path you choosed to place the files
export CLANG_INSTALL_DIR=$PWD/libclang

Getting PySide2

  • Clonning the official repository
git clone --recursive https://codereview.qt-project.org/pyside/pyside-setup
  • Checking out the version that we want to build, e.g. 5.9 (Keep in mind you need to use the same version as your Qt installation)
cd pyside-setup && git checkout 5.9

Building PySide2

  • Check your Qt installation path, to specifically use that version of qmake to build PySide2:
which qmake
  • Build can take a few minutes, so it is recommended to use more than one CPU core (e.g. 8). Remember to replace the paths to your current qmake path:
python setup.py build --qmake=/path/to/qmake --build-tests --ignore-git --jobs=8

Installing PySide2

  • To install on the current directory, just run:
python setup.py install --qmake=/path/to/qmake  --build-tests --ignore-git --jobs=8

Test installation

  • You can execute one of the examples to verify the process is properly working.
  • Remember to properly set the environment variables for Qt and PySide2.
python examples/examples/widgets/widgets/tetrix.py

Development

Development happens in the 5.9 and dev branches of the pyside-setup repository. The top level repository has the following submodules:

  • sources/pyside2-tools: uic, rcc tools
  • examples/

Contributions follow the standard process. It is helpful to have debug binaries and/or symbols for Python available. On macOS you will need to build the Python interpreter with debug symbols by hand. It is also recommended to use a Virtual Environment for testing to be able to always start from a clean base and avoid issues with write permissions in installations. On macOS, the command 

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3-dbg testenv

creates a Virtual Environment named testenv for debugging purposes. Before building the first time, the module Sphinx should be installed into the virtual environment: 

pip install sphinx
