Qt is set of cross-platform C++ libraries that implement high-level APIs for accessing many aspects of modern desktop and mobile systems. These include location and positioning services, multimedia, NFC and Bluetooth connectivity, a Chromium based web browser, as well as traditional UI development.
PyQt6 is a comprehensive set of Python bindings for Qt v6. It is implemented as more than 35 extension modules and enables Python to be used as an alternative application development language to C++ on all supported platforms including iOS and Android.
PyQt6 may also be embedded in C++ based applications to allow users of those applications to configure or enhance the functionality of those applications.
PyQt6 is copyright (c) Riverbank Computing Limited. Its homepage is https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/.
Support may be obtained from the PyQt mailing list at https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt/.
PyQt6 is released under the GPL v3 license and under a commercial license that allows for the development of proprietary applications.
The documentation for the latest release can be found here.
The GPL version of PyQt6 can be installed from PyPI:
pip install PyQt6
pip will also build and install the bindings from the sdist package but Qt's
qmake tool must be on PATH.
The sip-install tool will also install the bindings from the sdist package
but will allow you to configure many aspects of the installation.
