|project|
*************

|project| offers Python bindings for Qt, enabling the use of Qt5 APIs in Python
applications. It lets Python developers utilize the full potential of Qt, using
the |pymodname| module.

The |pymodname| module provides access to the individual
Qt modules such as QtCore, QtGui, and so on. |project| also comes with the
:doc:`Shiboken2 <shiboken2:index>` CPython binding code generator, which can be
used to generate Python bindings for your C or C++ code.

Qt Modules
===========

Basic modules
-------------
  These are the main modules that will help you build a Widget based UI.

  `Qt Core <PySide2/QtCore/index.html>`_
    Provides core non-GUI functionality, like signal and slots, properties, base classes of item models, serialization, etc.
  `Qt Gui <PySide2/QtGui/index.html>`_
    Extends QtCore with GUI functionality: Events, windows and screens, OpenGL and raster-based 2D painting, images.
  `Qt Widgets <PySide2/QtWidgets/index.html>`_
    Ready to use Widgets for your application, including also graphical elements for your UI.

QML and Qt Quick
----------------
  If you want to use the `Qml Language <https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmlapplications.html>`, these
  modules will help you interact with it from Python.

  `Qt Qml <PySide2/QtQml/index.html>`_
    Base Python API to interact with the QML module.
  `Qt Quick <PySide2/QtQuick/index.html>`_
    Provides classes for embedding Qt Quick in Qt applications.
  `Qt QuickWidgets <PySide2/QtQuickWidgets/index.html>`_
    Provides the QQuickWidget class for embedding Qt Quick in widget-based applications.

Data visualization
------------------

  Charts, diagrams, animations: these modules provide a large amount
  of classes that can help you include these elements in your UI.

  `Qt Charts <PySide2/QtCharts/index.html>`_
    Provides a set of easy to use chart components.
  `Qt DataVisualization <PySide2/QtDataVisualization/index.html>`_
    Provides a way to visualize data in 3D as bar, scatter, and surface graphs.

Multimedia
-----------

  Audio, video, and hardware interaction: check these modules if you are
  looking for multimedia solutions.

  `Qt Multimedia <PySide2/QtMultimedia/index.html>`_
    Provides low-level multimedia functionality.
  `Qt MultimediaWidgets <PySide2/QtMultimediaWidgets/index.html>`_
    Provides the widget-based multimedia API.

WebEngine
---------

  If your project is based on a browser or the features around web
  based applications, these modules will help you to interact with them.

  `Qt WebEngineWidgets <PySide2/QtWebEngineWidgets/index.html>`_
    Provides widgets that can handle web content.
  `Qt WebChannel <PySide2/QtWebChannel/index.html>`_
    Enables peer-to-peer communication between a server and a client
    (HTML/JavaScript or QML application).

All the modules
---------------

  There are many other modules currently supported by |pymodname|,
  here you can find a complete list of them.
