Overview
=========

The |project| project provides a complete port of the PySide module to Qt 5. Development started on
GitHub in May 2015. Since then, the project has ported PySide to Qt 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5.

In June 2018, the `PySide2` module was released as a Technical Preview (supporting Qt 5.11); it's
been fully supported since Qt 5.12.
