Just to note, there are official [1] Python bindings available for Qt and this can usually be installed with `pip install pyside2`.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm close (hopefully) to finishing an app using PyQt5 and the fbs library will be super helpful :)

I like the tutorial, but I don't know why you would use PyQt these days. Tkinter is more permissive and has wrappers like appJar which make it disgustingly easy to put together a quick, ugly GUI. If you're building a desktop app that needs to really look good and be fast, why are you using Python?

PySide2 is now out of beta?

As someone who works with Windows forms, I'm wondering where the visual designer to place widgets is.

I've only been a Python dev, and have ended up becoming entrenched in Tkinter. I want to be able to just use another GUI framework for when I finally switch to something else. So, I can see the use.

What would you use for an app that needs to look really good and be fast?
