The package allows the programmer to program equally for two different versions of Qt:

  • At the top level AnyQt exports a Qt5 compatible module namespace along with some minimal renames to better support portability between different versions
  • Which Qt API/backend is chosen can be controlled by a QT_API env variable
  • The api can be chosen/forced programmatically (as long as no PyQt4/PyQt5/PySide/PySide2 was already imported)
