[Announcement] pyside6-scintilla 5.6.3.0 — MIT-licensed Scintilla binding for PySide6
-
Hi all,
I've published the first PyPI release of pyside6-scintilla, a
shiboken6-based binding exposing Scintilla's ScintillaEditBase widget to
PySide6.Why: QScintilla is the standard Scintilla binding for Qt + Python, but
it's PyQt-only and GPLv3/commercial-licensed. Scintilla's own license
(HPND) is permissive, so this project wraps it directly for PySide6 users
under MIT.What works now: ScintillaEditBase — the low-level SCI_* message
API via .send()/.sends(), same as the C interface. See the example app
for a working demo (line-number margin, block/rectangular selection).Install: pip install pyside6-scintilla — pre-built wheels for Linux
x86_64, Windows x86_64, macOS arm64/x86_64, Python 3.11-3.14.Planned: ScintillaEdit (the full ~700-method convenience API), Linux
aarch64 wheels, and a docs site.Repo: https://github.com/borco/pyside6-scintilla
Feedback and issue reports welcome!
