QtPy 0.1.1

Provides an abstraction layer on top of the various Qt bindings (PyQt5, PyQt4 and PySide) and additional custom QWidgets.

About

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.
