-# PySide2
+# Qt For Python
-### Introduction
-
-PySide is the [Python Qt bindings project](http://wiki.qt.io/PySide2), providing
+Qt For Python is the [Python Qt bindings project](http://wiki.qt.io/PySide2), providing
access to the complete Qt 5.x framework as well as to generator tools for rapidly
generating bindings for any C++ libraries.
-The PySide project is developed in the open, with all facilities you'd expect
-from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository and an open
-design process. We welcome any contribution conforming to the
-[Qt Contribution Agreement](https://www.qt.io/contributionagreement/).
-
-
-PySide 2 supports Qt5. For building, please read about
-[getting started](https://wiki.qt.io/PySide2_GettingStarted).
-Then download the sources by running
-
- git clone https://code.qt.io/pyside/pyside-setup
-
-### Building
-
-#### Dependencies
-
-PySide versions following 5.6 use a C++ parser based on
-[Clang](http://clang.org/). The Clang library (C-bindings), version 3.9 or
-higher is required for building. Prebuilt versions of it can be downloaded from
-[download.qt.io](http://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/libclang/).
-
-After unpacking the archive, set the environment variable *LLVM_INSTALL_DIR* to
-point to the folder containing the *include* and *lib* directories of Clang:
-
- 7z x .../libclang-release_39-linux-Rhel7.2-gcc5.3-x86_64.7z
- export LLVM_INSTALL_DIR=$PWD/libclang
-
-On Windows:
-
- 7z x .../libclang-release_39-windows-vs2015_64.7z
- SET LLVM_INSTALL_DIR=%CD%\libclang
-
-#### Build Instructions
-
-You might consider using a virtual environment as described at
-[getting started](https://wiki.qt.io/PySide2_GettingStarted).
-You should be able to build:
-
- cd pyside-setup
- python setup.py install
+shiboken2 is the generator used to build the bindings.
-The setup script will try to find the location of the qmake tool of the Qt
-version to be used and the cmake build tool in the path. Non-standard
-locations can be specified by the *--qmake=path_to_qmake* or
-*--cmake=path_to_cmake* command line options.
+See README.pyside2.md and README.shiboken2.md for details.
