Getting PySide and Qt version
*****************************

PySide exports their version numbers among the version of Qt used to compile PySide in a pythonic way, you can check it using the variables:

::

    import PySide2.QtCore

    # Prints PySide version
    # e.g. 1.0.2
    print(PySide2.__version__)

    # Gets a tuple with each version component
    # e.g. (1, 0, 2, 'final', 1)
    print(PySide2.__version_info__)

    # Prints the Qt version used to compile PySide
    # e.g. "5.11.0"
    print(PySide2.QtCore.__version__)

    # Gets a tuple with each version components of Qt used to compile PySide
    # e.g. (5, 11, 0)
    print(PySide2.QtCore.__version_info__)


Note that the Qt version used to compile PySide may differ from the version used to run PySide, to get the current running Qt version you can do:

::

    print(PySide2.QtCore.qVersion())
