-Frequently Asked Questions
-==========================
-
-**When did The Qt Company adopt PySide2?**
- In April 2016 `The Qt Company <https://qt.io>`_ decided to properly support the port. For more
- information, see `<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pyside-dev/pqwzngAGLWE>`_.
-
-**Why use PySide2 and not PySide?**
- Since PySide was developed for Qt 4, we now use PySide2 to imply that it is for a newer version,
- after it was ported to support Qt 5.
-
-**Where I can find information about the old PySide project?**
- The project's old wiki page is available on PySide, but the project is now deprecated and not
- supported.
-
-**There are three wheels (pyside2, shiboken2, and shiboken2_generator), what's the difference?**
-
- Before the official release, everything was in one big wheel, so it made sense to split these
- into separate wheels, each for the major projects currently in development:
-
- * **pyside2**: contains all the PySide2 modules to use the Qt framework; also depends on the
- shiboken2 module.
- * **shiboken2**: contains the shiboken2 module with helper functions for PySide2.
- * **shiboken2_generator**: contains the generator binary that can work with a C++ project and a
- typesystem to generate Python bindings.
- If you want to generate bindings for a Qt/C++ project, there won't be any linking to the Qt
- shared libraries; you need to do this by hand. We recommend building PySide2 from scratch
- to have everything properly linked.
-
-**Why is the shiboken2_generator not installed automatically?**
- It's not necessary to install the shiboken2_generator to use PySide2. The package is a result of
- the wheel splitting process. To use the generator, it's recommended to build it from scratch to
- have the proper Qt linking.
