QT_VERSION_STR missing

[mottosso]

Qt.__qt_version__ is currently showing the PyQt version, when it should be showing the Qt version.

All of the below queried on my OS X dev machine.

PyQt4

>>> import PyQt4
>>> from PyQt4.QtCore import QT_VERSION_STR
>>> print QT_VERSION_STR
4.8.7
>>> from PyQt4.QtCore import PYQT_VERSION_STR
>>> print PYQT_VERSION_STR
4.11.4

PySide

import PySide

# Prints PySide version
# e.g. 1.2.2
print PySide.__version__

# Gets a tuple with each version component
# e.g. (1, 2, 2, 'final', 0)
print PySide.__version_info__

# Prints the Qt version used to compile PySide
# e.g. 4.8.7
print PySide.QtCore.__version__

# Gets a tuple with each version components of Qt used to compile PySide
# e.g. (4, 8, 7)
print PySide.QtCore.__version_info__

Note that the Qt version used to compile PySide may differ from the version used to run PySide, to get the current running Qt version you can do:

# 4.8.7
print PySide.QtCore.qVersion()

PyQt5

>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import QT_VERSION_STR
>>> print QT_VERSION_STR
5.5.1
>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import PYQT_VERSION_STR
>>> print PYQT_VERSION_STR
5.5.1

This is a little suspicious, getting the same values. Could be a coincidence though:

• Qt 5.5.1
• PyQt 5.5.1

PySide2

import PySide2

# Prints PySide version
# e.g. 2.0.0~alpha0
print PySide2.__version__

# Gets a tuple with each version component
# e.g. (2, 0, 0, 'alpha', 0)
print PySide2.__version_info__

# Prints the Qt version used to compile PySide
# e.g. 5.6.1
print PySide2.QtCore.__version__

# Gets a tuple with each version components of Qt used to compile PySide
# e.g. (5, 6, 1)
print PySide2.QtCore.__version_info__

Note that the Qt version used to compile PySide2 may differ from the version used to run PySide2, to get the current running Qt version you can do:

# 5.6.1
print PySide2.QtCore.qVersion()

That's a nice write up. Most of those things are in the current flavour, with only the Qt version missing from the PyQt bindings.

This is a little suspicious, getting the same values. Could be a coincidence though:

Both versions are unrelated: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/introduction.html#an-explanation-of-version-numbers
