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, Check the Compatibility Matrix for the supported Python version per each PySide version. 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: Linux macOS Windows Android iOS WebAssembly amd64 aarch64 Apple Silicon 64bit arm64 armv8 arm64 (simulator, device) x86_64 (simulator) - Python 3.10+ Please notice i386/32bit architecture is not supported. Get PySide6 via pip by running: pip install pyside6 What does it look like?
