PyQt is a Python binding of the cross-platform GUI toolkit Qt. It is one of the alternatives for GUI programming in Python to Tkinter, which is bundled with Python. Other popular alternatives are PyGTK and wxPython. Like Qt, PyQt is free software. PyQt is implemented as a Python extension module.
PyQt is developed by the British firm Riverbank Computing. It is available under similar terms to Qt versions older than 4.5; this means a variety of licenses including GNU General Public License (GPL) and commercial license, but not the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).[1] PyQt supports Linux and other flavours of Unix, as well as Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows[2].
In August 2009, Nokia, now the owners of the Qt toolkit, released PySide, providing similar functionality, but under the LGPL[3], after failing to reach an agreement with Riverbank Computing[4] to change its licensing terms to include LGPL as an alternative license.
Notable applications that use
