Can PySide be used with Anaconda Python 3.5?

Question

There seems to be very little information out there about PySide/PySide2 support under Anaconda 4.2 Python 3.5. While Anaconda 4.2 officially supports PyQt5 for both Python2.7 and Python3.5, PySide can be installed with PyQt4 support under Python2.7 using conda install pyside.

Has anyone had experience getting PySide2 with Qt5 working with Python 3.5 under Anaconda?

Is the problem just in the general maturity of PySide2? It is important to have an LGPL licence for Qt under Python3 but I would like to stick with using Anaconda/Miniconda.

Answer 1

With Anaconda3, I had to install using pip instead:

pip install pyside2

Answer 2

Yes, just use:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda install pyside2

Use PySide for QT4 and PySide2 for QT5. You will find a QT Designer under Anaconda/Library/bin/
