QtPy (pronounced 'cutie pie') is a small abstraction layer that lets you write applications using a single api call to either PyQt or PySide. QtPy also provides a set of additional QWidgets.
It provides support for PyQt5, PyQt4 and PySide using the PyQt5 layout (where the QtGui module has been split into QtGui and QtWidgets).
Basically, you write your code as if you were using PyQt5 but import qt from
qtpy
instead of PyQt5
.
This project is based on the pyqode.qt project and the spyderlib.qt module from the spyder project.
Unlike pyqode.qt this is not a namespace package so it is not tied to a particular project, or namespace.
This project is licensed under the MIT license.
You need PyQt5 or PyQt4 or PySide installed on your system to make use of QtPy.
pip install qtpy
