It provides specialized UI components like multi-handle range sliders and enhanced comboboxes, alongside practical tools for threading in Qt applications and icon generation from font files (supporting Material Design Icons and Font Awesome). The package is designed to work across macOS, Windows, and Linux with modern Python versions (3.10 and above) and multiple Qt bindings.\n\nDevelopers use superqt when they need UI elements beyond what the native QtWidgets module offers, or when they want ready-made solutions for common Qt patterns like font-based icons and thread management. It's actively maintained and tested against multiple Qt versions, making it suitable for projects that need reliable, cross-platform custom widgets without building them from scratch.","worth_installing":"Yes. superqt is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive BSD license, and fills a genuine gap in PyQt/PySide by providing well-tested custom widgets and utilities. No known vulnerabilities. Install it if you need range sliders, font-based icons, or threading helpers in a Qt application."},"id":"superqt","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/superqt","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/superqt.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/superqt/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"superqt","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Missing widgets and components for PyQt/PySide"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":385645,"position":7060,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.8.2"}
