So you will want to use PyQt5 first. I remcommand PyQt5 because there are more resouces available on the internet now.&lt;p&gt;PyQt5 and Qt for Python is a 1-to-1 binding to the original Qt and their APIs are almost identical, so you should be able to switch to Qt for Python quite easily when it is stable.&lt;p&gt;By the way, Qt for Python is re-branded from PySide2. They are the same.</text></comment>
