<![CDATA[PyQt]]>I notice that PySide is specifically called out in this subforum. Is pyside the only blessed python binding discussed here, or are PyQt discussions also welcome?

Personally I only use PyQt because it's what I started playing with years ago.

Not sure what you mean. I started at Qt5 a few years ago. We are now at Qt6. Meanwhile Creator went from something like major version 4 to major version 19, or thereabouts. I can't really see much has even changed in it (at least for my usage; and for me it has about the same number of major bugs/annoyances as it did at version 4, no improvements in lots of those). Certainly not enough to justify ~15 major version increments. If this were any other product than Qt, which I do love, I would not touch it with a bargepole if it need to undergo so many, frequent major version numbers.

I know :) It was just that it was a jump of 4! Still nowhere near keeping up with the current major versions of Creator, which is one of my bug bears....!

Small note, the jump from 2 to 6, has nothing to do with major versions, it was just to make it match the Qt version.

I concur with @JonB, questions around PyQt have been around for a long time and there is no problem with that.

I memory serves well, we renamed the category to Qt for Python to make it more generic when PySide6 was released as for a very long time only PyQt was available.

I started Qt with PyQt (now use C++). Then it was PySide2 vs PyQt5, and PySide2 just wasn't up to it, loads of "holes". The jump of 4 major releases to PySide6 sure helped, and now from what I can tell it is just about as good as PyQt6.

There are times with a very specific PyQt question that we have to refer to people to the riverbank mailing list for further information.
