I am trying to put together a tool using python and qt gui (currently using PySide) for my experiment and I need to display data on the screen real time. Matplotlib is a little bit slow for this purpose, and I noticed that qwtplot is a perfect fit to do this task. However, I noticed that there is a way to bind qwtplot in PyQt but not in PySide... Or did I miss something that is out there?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

It's not included in PySide but there is someone building a binding here:


On a side note, it's usually possible to switch from pyside to pyqt with little to no changes to the code.

Do you know of any other binding libraries? I'm actually in the same situation, need a qwt binding for Pyside. PySide is an LGPL license while PyQT isn't –  Lee Torres Jul 31 '13 at 11:00

You might want to consider another plotting library, PyQtGraph, which supports both PySide and PyQt and looks very fast (only used it a little bit myself so far, but I've been impressed with what I've seen)
