PySide Introduction

PySide is a Python binding for the Qt toolkit that allows developers to write GUI applications in Python. It provides full access to Qt classes and allows Python types to be used as parameters. PySide was created as an alternative to PyQt that is licensed under the more permissive LGPL instead of GPL. The document outlines Qt and PySide features, the differences between PyQt and PySide, and provides an example of using PySide to create a GUI application.
