Qt for Python
The Qt for Python project aims to provide a complete port of the PySide module to Qt. The development started on GitHub in May 2015. The project managed to port PySide to Qt 5.3, 5.4 & 5.5. During April 2016 The Qt Company decided to properly support the port (see details ).
The module was released mid June 2018 as a Technical Preview (supporting Qt 5.11), and it was officially released without the Technical Preview tag, in December 2018 for Qt 5.12. In December 2020, the module was released for Qt6, which is the latest available version, which has the following differences:
- It doesn't support Python 2.7,
- Dropped support for Python 3.5, keeping 3.6+ only until PySide 6.3
- PySide 6.4 is the first version that support Python 3.7+
This wiki page tracks the progress of the Qt for Python project development and provides further information concerning the effort.
Qt for Python is available under LGPLv3/GPLv2 and commercial license for the following platforms:
