PrettyQt basically is a wrapper for the whole Qt API (either on top of PySide6 or PyQt6 bindings). Perhaps it can be seen as a small Python equivalent of the KDE framework.

Main objective is to make Qt feel "pythonic". Qt is originally a C++ Framework, and using it can be quite cumbersome for Python developers. (very restrictive when it comes to types, very OOP-centric, lot of enum use, snakeCase naming etc.)

PrettyQt aims to improve this by:

• adding more powerful methods to the classes, which accept more types and have more options (in form of keyword arguments)
• doing type conversions for method parameters to lessen the strictness for types.
• raising Exceptions or returning None instead of returning *1 or invalid objects.
• all enum getters/setters also work with strings. Everything typed with Literals for an excellent IDE experience. (Example: )
• adding a lot of __dunder__ methods to the classes to make them behave like good python citizens.
