Provides an abstraction layer on top of the various Qt bindings (PyQt5, PyQt4 and PySide) and additional custom QWidgets.
Project description
QtPy: Abstraction layer for PyQt5/PyQt4/PySide2/PySide
Copyright © 2009–2019 The Spyder Development Team
Description
QtPy is a small abstraction layer that lets you write applications using a single API call to either PyQt or PySide.
It provides support for PyQt5, PyQt4, PySide2 and PySide using the Qt5 layout (where the QtGui module has been split into QtGui and QtWidgets).
Basically, you can write your code as if you were using PySide2
but import Qt modules from qtpy instead of PySide2 (or PyQt5)
Attribution and acknowledgments
This project is based on the pyqode.qt project and the spyderlib.qt module from the Spyder project, and also includes contributions adapted from qt-helpers, developed as part of the glue project.
Unlike pyqode.qt this is not a namespace package, so it is not tied
to a particular project or namespace.

Requirements
You need PyQt5, PyQt4, PySide2 or PySide installed in your system to make use
of QtPy. If several of these packages are found, PyQt5 is used by
default unless you set the QT_API environment variable.
QT_API can take the following values:
pyqt5(to use PyQt5).pyqtorpyqt4(to use PyQt4).pyside2(to use PySide2)pyside(to use PySide).
Installation
pip install qtpy
or
conda install qtpy
