I do understand, but a few months ago we were able to run this to
install a PySide2 version that works just fine:
pip install --index-url=http://download.qt.io/snapshots/ci/pyside/5.6/latest/
pyside2 --trusted-host download.qt.io
We only need this for a single inhouse app we use every day and it has
worked perfectly on the three machines it was installed on.
Now we need it on more machines and the above no longer works.
I didn't want to get into any more complicated issues.
I understand for serious development this is very important, but for us
it's a single, simple but important tool we can't use easily (except on
three machines) and I would love to rectify this until I get time to
adapt the code for python3.
So if anybody has an idea where to find the installer that would have
been pulled via the above earlier this year I would very much appreciate it.
Cheers,
frank

Hello,
Just wanted to point out that when you go to:
https://pyside.org
you see a colorful table with the
compatibility on the different platform and the reason
behind them being not supported.
I was under the impression that it was the best
way possible to communicate these release of the
details, but I think I was mistaken.
Since I don't want this to be a RTFM email,
I'm honestly asking:
Does anyone has any other more direct way to communicate this?
Maybe people were confused while visiting:
https://www.qt.io/qt-for-python
Should we mention the support there too?
I really would like to know how to communicate this,
since it's possible that in an unknown period of time
we will drop support for Python2 (months? years?)
and then we will need to communicate that with the whole
community.
Cheers

Hi,
Point 1: At the official first release of Qt For Python / PySide2 which
was bundled with Qt 5.11, we never provided py27 windows packages. So
officially, we haven't dropped any packages, because they weren't there
in the first place.
Point 2: Packages for py2.7 for PySide2 do not exist not because of py2
EoL, but rather because the official py27 interpreter is built with MSVC
2008, whereas Qt is built with MSVC2015, and we deemed that with the
current PySide2 codebase, it is not safe to mix MSVC runtimes.
This was communicated multiple times, and is mentioned on the wiki as
well. Yet people still insist on bringing it up, disregarding that such
packages are not safe to use.
People are free to try and build Py2.7 + Qt + PySide2 with the same MSVC
version, and use that.

Python2 support was deprecated by the Python community and the
Python Software
Foundation many years ago. Its EOL was pushed from Jan 1, 2015 to
Jan 1, 2020.
The point is not about Pyside, it's about *Python*. People have had
over 10
years to switch from 2.x to 3. With less than 7½ months left, I'm sure
everyone with critical applications have already switch, right?

I think the point is that it's not worth the resources required to
build and
test the Python2 bulld when so few are (supposed to be) still using it.
