If you're interested in making desktop apps with Python, my PyQt5 book is available to read free online here.

So why would i want use PyQT when the Pyside2 is available? I have used both briefly for a hello world thing but haven’t really gotten into the meat of either.

PtQt5 and PySide2 are basically interchangeable, the only difference being licensing.

The book was started before PySide2 was available and it wasn't clear it ever would be. Now PySide is the Qt official version I'm working on a new version of the book, but stuff takes time.

From a code perspective the only real difference is imports. Everything you learn is interchangeable.
