Control PySide Version To Work With Latest Maya

[Anas Elkinawy]

I am trying to update my scripts that was using PySide2 and make them work in maya 2025 or later 

So I thought it would be better if I change PySide Version as String then import it 
But I got the feeling that its not the neatest way !!

If you have any Ideas to make this better without the need to install any packages that maya doesn't support  

Here's My Code 
# =====================================
import importlib
import maya.OpenMayaUI as Omui
 
maya_version = cmds.about(version=True)

# ====================================================================================
# DEFINE  PYSIDE VERSION
qt_widgets = "PySide2.QtWidgets" if int(maya_version) < 2024 else "PySide6.QtWidgets"
qt_core = "PySide2.QtCore" if int(maya_version) < 2024 else "PySide6.QtCore"
shibokenV = "shiboken2" if int(maya_version) < 2024 else "shiboken6"
# ====================================================================================

# ======================================================
# ATTEMPT TO IMPORT
a = importlib.import_module(qt_widgets)
b = importlib.import_module(qt_core)
c = importlib.import_module(shibokenV)
# ======================================================

# ======================================================
# Getting Maya Main Window
maya_main_window_ptr = Omui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
V = c.wrapInstance(int(maya_main_window_ptr), a.QWidget)
# ======================================================

# =============
# TEST
x = a.QDialog()
x.show()
# =============

Hi,

Marcus wrote the Qt.py helper library just for this purpose. Have a look:

Yep, that's it. It's meant to be bundled with your project, so as to not have to install anything.

from .vendor import Qt

But can also be installed via pip install Qt.py

import Qt

And it'll run on Maya 2025 down to 2015 or so.

thanks a lot 

I'll consider using it 
I was afraid that user will have to install non-maya packages 

but its great that its bundeled with the project itself 

thanks Justin, Marcus ^ ^
