No PySide2 for Python3.8?

[bundito]

I'm interested to try the Qt For Python bindings (the artist formerly known as PySide), but there doesn't appear to be a version for Python 3.8. Or is there? I've just gotten Python 3.8 running on Windows, and it was a distasteful process. I don't really want to downgrade to 3.7 if I don't have to.

Does anyone know if there's a release for Python 3.8 and I'm too dense to find it? Or do I indeed need to downgrade Python?

@bundito Try to install PySide2 using pip tool (if your Python setup contains pip.exe):

c:\python3\scripts\pip.exe install PySide2

See https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python

Just a comment: I do not know what the differences are from Python 3.7 to 3.8, but is there not a fair chance that the current version of PySide2 will work successfully with Python 3.8?

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone, but even after looking at the git sources, there does not appear to be a Python 3.8 version. I rejiggered everything and installed Python 3.7.5 instead.

Instead, I'll just level a low-octane gripe at the Qt4Py "Getting Started" page. It simply says "Python 3.5+"

I was setting up a fresh environment, so I did like I've done with so many other things, and grabbed the latest stable release, which is Python 3.8.

@jsulm: I do have pip (couldn't work without it), but when I tried to run it against Python 3.8, I got an error about no release matching my distribution - or something to that effect.

Anyway, aside from that minor bit of wording on the front page, I've gotten a demo QWidget to run - now I just have to try and remember how all these Qt LEGOs fit together. It's been a while (early Qt5) since I was doing this regularly...

Thanks for all the help!

@Denni-0 - Yep, see below. I rolled back to Python 3.7.5 and all is good. Just want to make sure I can give you credit for the solution.

Oh there is something on the main docs page now:

***: 5.14 will not work on Windows with Python 3.8.0, please use Python 3.8.1 or greater.

I just used the web-installer from the downloads to update.
Works! ✔😃

On Python 3.8.1, pip failed but I could install PySide2 using pip3.8.exe instead

..\Python38\Scripts>pip3.8.exe install PySide2
