# qtpy-get-dependencies(1)

get Debian package dependencies for qtpy modules

## NAME

qtpy-get-dependencies - get Debian package dependencies for qtpy modules

## SYNOPSIS

**qtpy-get-dependencies** \[**-h**\] \[**--pyqt5** \| **--pyqt6** \| **--pyside6**\] \[**--version**\] *module* \[*module* ...\]

List Debian package dependencies for a set of QtPy modules

## DESCRIPTION

A qtpy-using package requires a Python Qt library behind it.  This script takes a list of QtPy modules (obtained, for example, by searching a package's source files for the string "from qtpy import"), and returns a list of Debian packages required for this package, ready to be included in the binary Depends field of the package's debian/control file.

See the file /usr/share/doc/python3-qtpy/README.Debian for more information on the way that qtpy chooses which backend to use.
