    11 The Qt.py developer did not want to combine, thought it important to stick to a single file implementation, and seemed to think his audience in the the film industry had different needs than the QtPy audience which was made for Spyder, a scientific python package.

    13 Both packages seem widely used.  I did not see any factor that would favor one over the other.  The Qt.py package has a bit more commits in 2020 but both have quite few commits.  Also Qt.py has ~200 forks versus QtPy ~100.
