Welcome to AnyQt’s documentation!¶
AnyQt is a PyQt4/PyQt5 compatibility layer intended as a stepping stone to full PyQt5 support while still providing support for PyQt4.
The idea is to use use a forward compatible module structure that mimics that of Qt5, even when using Qt4
By default PyQt5 is used if available, but that can be changed by a QT_API env
variable (which can take either ‘pyqt4’ or ‘pyqt5’ values), or setting the
preferred api using the AnyQt.setpreferredapi()
. However if any of the
Qt apis is already imported (listed in sys.modules) then it is used instead.
Note
The final choice of api is delayed until the first AnyQt.Qt* module is imported
