.. ifconfig:: output_format == 'qthelp'

   Shiboken is a fundamental piece on the `Qt for Python <../pyside6/index.html>`__ project that serves two purposes:


* Generator_: Extract information from C or C++ headers and generate CPython_ code that allow
  to bring C or C++ projects to Python. This process uses a library called ApiExtractor_ which
  internally uses Clang_.
* Module_: An utility Python module that exposed new Python types, functions to handle pointers,
  among other things, that is written in CPython_ and can use independently of the generator.
