Compiling PySide2 for Python 2.7

Has anyone successfully compiled PySide2 for Python 2.7 - that is external to Maya Python 2.7.x?

We are having a heck of a time with this.
AD support is going to look into giving some better instructions than what came along with Maya 2017.

Figure I’d throw this out there to see if anyone has managed to do this.

Thanks,

P.S - Why on earth would AD not wait with this move until they are Python 3.x which is the only version officially supported by PySide2 (Qt 5.x) now!!?

VFXPlatform:

Also Maya 2017 uses QT5. Only Pyside 2.x supports QT 5. There is not way to get it to work with Pyside 1.x.

Also can you be a little more specific in your question. What doesn’t work, what problems are you having compiling it. What errors are occurring, etc…

Yes, I have no issues using PySide2 inside of Maya 2017.
My issue is trying to produce a version of PySide2 for the Python 2.7.12 interpreter outside of Maya.

Thanks for that link and the reply btw :slight_smile:

The comments on Cyrille’s post linked above sums up most of the questions and problems that we have run into up to this point.
We were basically trying to follow those instructions to build it for Python 2.7.12.
