We need to update it when PySide2 for Qt5 is more ready. PySide is the Python Qt bindings project, providing access the complete Qt 4.8 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, an open Bugzilla for reporting bugs, and an open design process. We welcome any contribution without requiring a transfer of copyright. The PySide documentation is hosted at `http://pyside.github.io/docs/pyside/ `_. Compatibility ============= PySide requires Python 2.6 or later and Qt 4.6 or better. .. note:: Qt 5.x is currently in the works. Installation ============ Installing prerequisites ------------------------ Install latest ``pip`` distribution: download `get-pip.py `_ and run it using the ``python`` interpreter. Installing PySide on a Windows System ------------------------------------- To install PySide on Windows you can choose from the following options: #. Use pip to install the ``wheel`` binary packages: :: pip install -U PySide #. Use setuptools to install the ``egg`` binary packages (deprecated): :: easy_install -U PySide .. note:: Provided binaries are without any other external dependencies. All required Qt libraries, development tools and examples are included. Installing PySide on a Mac OS X System -------------------------------------- You need to install or build Qt 4.8 first, see the `Qt Project Documentation `_. Alternatively you can use `Homebrew `_ and install Qt with :: $ brew install qt To install PySide on Mac OS X you can choose from the following options: #. Use pip to install the ``wheel`` binary packages: :: $ pip install -U PySide Installing PySide on a Linux System ----------------------------------- We do not provide binaries for Linux. Please read the build instructions in section `Building PySide on a Linux System `_.
