-
-|project| Considerations
-=========================
-
-API Changes
------------
-
-One of the goals of |pymodname| is to be API compatible with PyQt5,
-with certain exceptions.
-
-The latest considerations and known issues will be also reported
-in the `wiki <https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python/Considerations>`_.
-
-__hash__() function return value
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The hash value returned for the classes :class:`PySide2.QtCore.QDate`,
-:class:`PySide2.QtCore.QDateTime`, :class:`PySide2.QtCore.QTime`, :class:`PySide2.QtCore.QUrl`
-will be based on their string representations, thus objects with the same value will produce the
-same hash.
-
-
-QString
-~~~~~~~~
-
-Methods and functions that change the contents of a QString argument were modified to receive an
-immutable Python Unicode (or str) and return another Python Unicode/str as the modified string.
-
-The following methods had their return types modified this way:
-
-**Classes:** QAbstractSpinBox, QDateTimeEdit, QDoubleSpinBox, QSpinBox, QValidator
-
-* ``fixup(string): string``
-* ``validate(string, int): [QValidator.State, string, int]``
-
-**Classes:** QDoubleValidator, QIntValidator, QRegExpValidator
-
-* ``validate(string, int): [QValidator.State, string, int]``
-
-**Class:** QClipboard
-
-* ``text(string, QClipboard.Mode mode=QClipboard.Clipboard): [string, string]``
-
-**Class:** QFileDialog
-
-Instead of ``getOpenFileNameAndFilter()``, ``getOpenFileNamesAndFilter()`` and
-``getSaveFileNameAndFilter()`` like PyQt does, PySide has modified the original methods to return
-a tuple.
-
-* ``getOpenFileName(QWidget parent=None, str caption=None, str dir=None, str filter=None, QFileDialog.Options options=0): [string, filter]``
-* ``getOpenFileNames(QWidget parent=None, str caption=None, str dir=None, str filter=None, QFileDialog.Options options=0): [list(string), filter]``
-* ``getSaveFileName(QWidget parent=None, str caption=None, str dir=None, str filter=None, QFileDialog.Options options=0): [string, filter]``
-
-**Class:** QWebPage
-
-* ``javaScriptPrompt(QWebFrame, string, string): [bool, string]``
-
-**Classes:** QFontMetrics and QFontMetricsF
-
-They had two new methods added. Both take a string of one character and convert to a QChar
-(to call the C++ counterpart):
-
-* ``widthChar(string)``
-* ``boundingRectChar(string)``
-
-
-QTextStream
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Inside this class some renames were applied to avoid clashes with native Python functions.
-They are: ``bin_()``, ``hex_()`` and ``oct_()``.
-The only modification was the addition of '_' character.
-
-
-QVariant
-~~~~~~~~
-
-As ``QVariant`` was removed, any function expecting it can receive any Python object (``None`` is
-an invalid ``QVariant``).
-The same rule is valid when returning something: the returned ``QVariant`` will be converted to
-the its original Python object type.
-
-When a method expects a ``QVariant::Type`` the programmer can use a string (the type name) or the
-type itself.
