+==== Qt GUI and PythonScript ====
+  * To get Qt (PySide or PyQt4) to work with PythonScript, (depends on your pythonscript's python version)
+    * if you use Plugins > PythonScript > Show Console, it will show the python 2.7.18 in 64bit (my case) as the python version
+    * download the same or similar version of Python from python offical website,
+      * search version number in https://www.python.org/downloads/
+      * (my case) https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/
+    * download "Windows x86-64 MSI installer", you can install to a special path if you want to make it not affect your system.
+      * in install step, you can choose where to install, and where add python.exe to path, by default it won't, as if you already have multiple python versions installed, choose not add to path will not affect your current setup, choose add to path, if you want it to be your default python as well. (my case, I just want it to be a py2.7 package download, so I don't check add python.exe to path during install)
+    * once ok, you can use your own python to install package, and add the site-packages path to PythonScript python's sys.path
+    * start your standalone python, and run (PySide,PyQt4,PySide2,PyQt5 depends on your PythonScript plugin's python version) <code python>
