What is Riverbank Computing?
Riverbank Computing specializes in developing Python bindings for the Qt framework through its flagship product PyQt. These bindings enable Python developers to leverage Qt's extensive capabilities for creating sophisticated graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and desktop applications that run seamlessly across multiple operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
The company offers multiple versions of PyQt (PyQt6, PyQt5, PyQt4) along with specialized modules for 3D visualization, charting, data visualization, graphs, network authentication, purchasing functionality, and web engine integration. Riverbank Computing also provides supporting tools like SIP (which generates Python bindings for C/C++ libraries), PyQt-builder for building PyQt modules, and pyqtdeploy for creating standalone applications.
