10 **QtPy** is a shim over the various Python Qt bindings. It is used to write
11 Qt binding indenpendent libraries or applications.
13 If one of the APIs has already been imported, then it will be used.
15 Otherwise, the shim will automatically select the first available API (PyQt5,
16 PySide2, PyQt4 and finally PySide); in that case, you can force the use of one
17 specific bindings (e.g. if your application is using one specific bindings and
18 you need to use library that use QtPy) by setting up the ``QT_API`` environment
19 variable.
21 PyQt5
22 =====
24 For PyQt5, you don't have to set anything as it will be used automatically::
26 >>> from qtpy import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore
27 >>> print(QtWidgets.QWidget)
30 PySide2
31 ======
33 Set the QT_API environment variable to 'pyside2' before importing other
34 packages::
36 >>> import os
37 >>> os.environ['QT_API'] = 'pyside2'
38 >>> from qtpy import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore
39 >>> print(QtWidgets.QWidget)
41 PyQt4
42 =====
44 Set the ``QT_API`` environment variable to 'pyqt' before importing any python
45 package::
47 >>> import os
48 >>> os.environ['QT_API'] = 'pyqt'
49 >>> from qtpy import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore
50 >>> print(QtWidgets.QWidget)
52 PySide
53 ======
55 Set the QT_API environment variable to 'pyside' before importing other
56 packages::
58 >>> import os
59 >>> os.environ['QT_API'] = 'pyside'
60 >>> from qtpy import QtGui, QtWidgets, QtCore
61 >>> print(QtWidgets.QWidget)
