Does anyone know where I can find a pip-install for PySide2?
It's 2017 and I can't seem to find a pip install or site-package containing the binaries for PySide2. I prefer not to deal with downloading the source code and compiling it myself, as that usually ends up being a huge headache as it's never a smooth process. Also considering it's highly likely someone else has already done it. If I were to be honest here, if I attempted to compile it myself and errors popped up, I wouldn't really know where to begin solving them, nor do I want to spend time doing that.
I just find it hard to believe I can't find it anywhere online or even in PIP when a lot of applications in the VFX industry are switching to PySide2.
I hope someone can help me out. Thanks

It's actually quite easy, just open a console and type the following: python -m pip install PySide2.
The key difference in the two versions — in fact the entire reason PySide2 exists — is licensing. PyQt5 is available under a GPL or commercial license, and PySide2 under a LGPL license.
PySide2 is the official Python module from the Qt for Python project, which provides access to the complete Qt 5.12+ framework. The Qt for Python project is developed in the open, with all facilities you'd expect from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository and an open design process.
PySide2 is now available on pypi so a simple
pip install PySide2
should work on Windows, OSX, and linux!

I use Python 3.7 on windows 10 pro, 64bit.
Installing via pip failed for me.
I ended up downloading the wheel from qt directly
QT official download page
and install the downloaded wheel which worked fine.
