Sailfish/Python Development
Contents |
Python 2
Python 2.7 is provided in the "jolla" repository, and can be installed using pkcon:
-
pkcon install python
Python 3
Starting with Sailfish OS 1.0.3.8, Python 3.3.3 and PyOtherSide are shipped in the official repositories.

Python and Qt 5
There are different options for developing Python Qt 5 apps on Sailfish OS:
- PyOtherSide: In official repositories, supports Qt 5 and Python 3. Will be supported in Harbour.
- PyQt: Available from OpenRepos.net, supports Qt 5.
- PySide: Not in official repositories or OpenRepos, as it doesn't support Qt 5 yet. If you need PySide-style bindings, use PyQt.
