I created a modern and customizable tooltip library for PyQt and PySide

Hey guys,

since I couldn't find any good libraries for showing modern-looking and customizable tooltips in PyQt, I made one myself.

What My Project Does:

It supports fixed placement, automatic placement, fallback placements, an optional triangle, animations, delays and much more. Basically anything can be completely customized and it's extremely easy to use. Also, since it's developed with QtPy, an abstraction layer for multiple versions of PyQt and PySide, you can use it with PyQt5, PyQt6, PySide2, and PySide6.

Target Audience:

This is useful for any Python developer who is working with PyQt or PySide and wants to add modern and customizable tooltips to their application.

Comparison:

To my knowledge, there are no comparable libraries out there.
