Qt is excellent, but it's also enormous. There's a lot of topics, and many of them have hidden gotchas. PySide2 and PyQt are also excellent, letting us leverage the powerful Qt libraries from up in the clouds in PythonLand, but this arrangement has its own gotchas.
The goal of qtstrap is get your applications up and running quickly, so you can focus on your problem instead of on Qt's idiosyncracies.

$ python3 -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ python3 -m pip install qtstrap PySide6

The init script will prompt you to enter the name of your application and the name of its publisher(which is probably you), and then it will generate an application skeleton.
You can test that everything installed properly by executing:
$ python3 app/main.py
