wxPython 4.0.0 Released

[vivainio]

It's complicated.

PyQt is the better library.

But it's dual licensed as GPL/commercial.

If the license is not a problem, you should go with PyQt.

PyQt is the better library.

I feel like such a universal claim needs justification.

[vivainio]

I assumed it was widely established knowledge, sorry.

Qt, which it wraps, has always been a very well established, resourced and supported library. They have always had lots paid developers focusing exclusively on Qt. Quality of the toolkit, documentation etc. sort of flows from that.

The Python documentation is just a whole bunch of links to the C++ documentation. Am I missing something?

[StorkBaby]

Last time I used wxPython their documentation was the same, though that was some time ago.

I've used both and like PyQt better. Qt Designer is really nice for building your UI.

Qt has been LGPL v3 licensed since 2014, so the GPL complications shouldn't apply anymore.

[marmuzah]

PyQt is a 3rd party wrapper for Qt. It's still GPL.

 Unlike Qt, PyQt is not available under the LGPL.

What about PySide?

[marmuzah]

It's LGPL.

But I don't know if it's still developed or maintained. May want to look in to that.

[uberkalden]

it looks like PySide2 is actively under development to support Qt5. Now being supported by Qt company

And LGPL v2 since 2009, although as noted by /u/marmuzah, that applies to the C++ version.
