 I've been using PySide6.

Work or play?
My biggest PyQt app is nearly 2200 lines, incl comments and whitespace and handling 7 different dbms's.

There are some minor differences with signals but
otherwise it is the same. I think PySide is now the 'official' approach. I
think I've mentioned the pissing contest with Riverside over GPL versus
LGPL that gave rise to PySide.

Thanks for the heads-up.
"Qt for Python is the project that provides the official set of Python bindings (PySide6) that will supercharge your Python applications."

One caveat: there is a line you can add that allows for more 'Pythonic'
function conventions,
 from typing import Optional
 so you can say
 self.set_layout(layout)
 rather than
 self.setLayout(layout)
 It might be more Pythonic and all that good stuff but it is not completely
implemented and some things still have to be camel case so I stopped
trying to use it.

 From what I read on PySide vs PyQt, the changes to my apps will be minimal, mainly new imports and a few other little tweaks having to do with the .ui files.
