PySide
======

.. contents:: **Table of Contents** 

Introduction
============

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 [1], an open
Bugzilla [2] for reporting bugs, and an open design process [3]. We welcome
any contribution without requiring a transfer of copyright.

Compatibility
=============

PySide requires Python 2.6 or later and Qt 4.6 or better.

Installing PySide from source on a Windows System
=================================================

Installing prerequisities
-------------------------

#. Install `Python 2.7
   <http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/>`_.

#. Install `Qt 4.7 libraries for Windows (VS 2008)
   <ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-win-opensource-4.7.4-vs2008.exe>`_.
   `(PySide version 1.1.1 does not support Qt 4.8 on Windows System)`

#. Install `Cmake 2.8
   <http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html>`_.

#. Install `MS Visual Studio Express 2008
   <http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/>`_.

#. Install `Git 1.7
   <http://git-scm.com/download/win>`_.

#. (Optional) Install `OpenSSL
   <http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html>`_.

#. Install latest `distribute` distribution into the Python you
   installed in the first step: download `distribute_setup.py
   <http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py>`_ and run it using
   the ``python`` interpreter of your Python 2.7 installation using a
   command prompt:

   ::

      c:\> c:\Python27\python distribute_setup.py

#. Use that Python's `bin/easy_install` to install `virtualenv`:

   ::

      c:\> c:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install virtualenv

#. Use that Python's virtualenv to make a workspace:

   ::

      c:\> c:\Python27\Scripts\virtualenv env

#. Open Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt:

   ::

      c:\> c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008\Visual Studio Tools\Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt.lnk

#. Switch to the ``env`` directory:

   ::

      c:\> cd env

Installing PySide
-----------------

Use ``pip`` to get `PySide` installed:

::

   c:\env> Scripts\pip install PySide --install-option="--qmake=c:\\Qt\\4.7.4\\bin\\qmake.exe"

Optionally you can specify the path to OpenSSL libs:

::

   c:\env> Scripts\pip install PySide --install-option="--openssl=c:\\OpenSSL32bit\\bin" --install-option="--qmake=c:\\Qt\\4.7.4\\bin\\qmake.exe"

Building PySide installer
-------------------------

#. Clone ``PySide`` from git repository:

   ::

      c:\> git clone https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup.git pyside-setup

#. Switch to the ``pyside-setup`` directory:

   ::

      c:\> cd pyside-setup

#. Build ``PySide`` windows installer:

   ::

      c:\> c:\Python27\python setup.py bdist_wininst --qmake=c:\Qt\4.7.4\bin\qmake.exe --openssl=c:\OpenSSL32bit\bin

Installing PySide from source on a UNIX System (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
=================================================================

Installing prerequisities
-------------------------

#. Install Python 2.7 header files and a static library:
    
   ::

      $ sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev
   
#. Install Qt 4.8 libraries:
    
   ::

      $ sudo apt-get install qt-sdk
   
#. Install cmake:
    
   ::

      $ sudo apt-get install cmake

#. Install git:
    
   ::

      $ sudo apt-get install git
   
#. Install latest `distribute` distribution into the Python you
   installed in the first step: download `distribute_setup.py
   <http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py>`_ and run it using
   the ``python`` interpreter of your Python 2.7 installation using a
   command prompt:

   ::

      $ sudo python distribute_setup.py

#. Use that Python's `bin/easy_install` to install `virtualenv`:

   ::

      $ sudo easy_install virtualenv

#. Use that Python's virtualenv to make a workspace:

   ::

      $ virtualenv env

Installing PySide
-----------------

Use ``pip`` to get `PySide` installed from PyPI:

::

   $ env/bin/pip install PySide

Alternatively you can install development version of `PySide` from github repository:

::

   $ env/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup.git

You can also specify version of `PySide` when installing from github repository:

::

   $ env/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup.git@1.1.1

Building PySide distribution egg
--------------------------------

#. Clone ``PySide`` from git repository:

   ::

      $ git clone https://github.com/PySide/pyside-setup.git pyside-setup

#. Switch to the ``pyside-setup`` directory:

   ::

      $ cd pyside-setup

#. Build ``PySide`` distribution egg:

   ::

      $ env/bin/python setup.py bdist_egg

#. Optionally you can build standalone version of distribution egg with embedded Qt libs:

   ::

      $ env/bin/python setup.py bdist_egg --standalone
