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. |
