# PyQt-builder - the PyQt Build System
PyQt-builder is the PEP 517 compliant build system for PyQt and projects that
extend PyQt. It extends the [SIP](https://pypi.org/project/sip/) build system
and uses Qt's `qmake` to perform the actual compilation and installation of
extension modules.
Projects that use PyQt-builder provide an appropriate `pyproject.toml` file and
an optional `project.py` script. Any PEP 517 compliant frontend, for example
`build` or `pip` can then be used to build and install the project.
## Documentation
The documentation can be found at
[Read the Docs](https://PyQt-builder.readthedocs.io).
## License
PyQt-builder is licensed under the BSD 2 clause license.
## Installation
To install SIP, run:
pip install sip
## Creating Packages for Distribution
Python sdists and wheels can be created with any standard Python build
frontend.
For example, using [build](https://pypi.org/project/build/) an sdist and wheel
will be created from a checkout in the current directory by running:
python -m build --outdir .
## Building the Documentation
The documentation is built using [Sphinx](https://pypi.org/project/Sphinx/),
[myst_parser](https://pypi.org/project/myst-parser/) and the
[sphinx-rtd-theme](https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-rtd-theme/) theme.
Change to the `docs` directory of a checkout and run:
make html
The HTML documentation can then be found in the `_build/html` subdirectory.
