Python Bindings for Your UI & Middleware

Your Best Option for Python

The official Python bindings make Qt's functionality accessible in Python. Mature and well-maintained, the binding generator and the official bindings allow using all of Qt’s modules in Python to build modern, cross-platform, and feature-rich applications - without needing to know C++.

Easily Build the Kind of UI You Need

Whether you need a customized, modern user interface for mobile and desktop, or a simple, traditional desktop UI, Qt Python bindings have got you covered.

Leverage Qt’s Time-Saving Middleware

The Python bindings provide easy ways to set up, for example, connectivity, hardware integration, as well as data manipulation and visualization.

Create Stunning 2D &3D Graphics

Qt allows efficient rendering of thousands of items for high-performance 3D graphics, animated scenes, and vector graphics with smooth transitions and effects.

EXPOSE C++ TO PYTHON

Your Shortcut to Cross-Platform Development

Fast, fun and easy - the Python bindings for Qt allow you to make use of Qt’s ready-made components and controls for your Python project. Exposing C++ libraries to Python lets you use high-performance code, create elaborate UIs, and avoid rewriting complex logic in Python.

You don’t need to know C++ to use Qt for Python, and you can make use of all the possible combinations between QLM, C++, and Python.

Getting Started with Python Bindings

Pretty much everything you can do with Qt Framework, you can do in Python. The official Python bindings for Qt come with two main components:

PySide6 for using Qt6 APIs in your Python applications
Shiboken6, a binding generator tool for exposing C++ projects to Python

Start by installing Qt for Python:
$ pip install pyside6

Easily Move between C++ and Python

Qt for Python keeps the Qt syntax, enabling you to move without much trouble from C++ to Python or the other way around. You can choose between keeping the Qt syntax or using the snake case.

Here’s what it looks like.

Example: How to Use the Python Bindings

Here’s a quick example of how to use the Python bindings for Qt to create a minimal application. You can also copy this code to use it.
