That is pretty much all the information that I am aware of, as well. PySide was an easier choice for a while because of the distribution. It also had more bugs and less development. In terms of writing an app, it isn't actually too hard to write it to dynamically handle supporting both PySide and PyQt. I have a particular application that imports the Qt modules from an intermediate module, and this module does a few checks to determine which lib to import and return. * If PySide is already imported, return that * If PyQt is already imported, and the sip version is set to v2, return that * Otherwise try to import and return Pyside * Otherwise try to import PyQt, set sip v2 and return that. Also part of that process is normalising the naming for Signal, Slot, and Property, so that it works for either lib.
If you require Qt5,you don't really have a choice. And if you need to distribute a complete app, that also affects your choices.
