How to install Pyside for Python 2.7?

Question

Hey I am pretty new to Pyside and am not sure how to download it or Qt? I have a 64-bit Windows computer and am wondering what I need to download once I have downloaded Qt because there is a checklist for like Qt 5.3, Qt 5.2.1, etc. and I am not sure which to download because under those there are multiple options under them like MSCV2012 64-bit and mscv64-bit OpenGL. Basically I am just very lost on what I need and can't seem to find the answer. Could someone enlighten me?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Install pip:

1. Download pip installer from here and save it in a directory other than C.
2. If you haven't set your python path: follow this.
3. Open Command Prompt and cd to that directory where you saved the pip installer.
4. run: python get-pip.py

Install pyside:

1. Close and Reopen Command Prompt.
2. run: cd C:\Python27\Scripts
3. run: pip install -U PySide

Answer 2

PySide does not yet support the Qt 5.x branch.

Simply running pip install pyside will install bindings that support the Qt 4.8 branch. Thus, you need that version of Qt.
