+Overview
+=========
+
+The |project| project aims to provide a complete port of the PySide module to Qt 5.
+The development started on GitHub in May 2015. The project managed to port Pyside to
+Qt 5.3, 5. 4 & 5.5.
+
+The `PySide2` module was released mid June 2018 as a Technical Preview (supporting Qt 5.11),
+and it has been fully supported since Qt 5.12.
+
+|project| is available under LGPLv3/GPLv2 and commercial license for the following platforms:

+What does PySide2 look like?
+----------------------------
+
+A simple Hello World example in PySide2 looks like this:
+
+::
+
+      import sys
+      from PySide2.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel
+
+
+      if __name__ == "__main__":
+          app = QApplication(sys.argv)
+          label = QLabel("Hello World")
+          label.show()
+          sys.exit(app.exec_())
