Version Support
The Alias toolkit engine uses the Python interpreter shipped with Flow Production Tracking Desktop, or a locally installed interpreter. A locally installed interpreter may lead to unexpected behaviour. Please contact support if you would like to use this in your studio environment.

Other Notes
-
With the release of v2.1.5 of the Alias ShotGrid toolkit engine, we will stop supporting Python v2.7.x .
-
Please download v1.7.3 (or later) of ShotGrid Desktop to ensure Python 3.x is used as the default: https://community.shotgridsoftware.com/t/a-new-version-of-shotgrid-desktop-has-been-released/13877/14
Alias prior to 2024.0 did not use Qt. The Alias Engine (tk-alias) up until this point used the Qt (PySide) version shipped with FPTR Desktop. Once Alias 2024.0 introduced Qt, tk-framework-alias was created to support the FPTR integration in Alias. The framework runs in the same process as Alias, so it must match the Alias Qt version. The Alias Engine is started by the framework in a separate process than Alias, so it will continue to use the Qt (PySide) version shipped with FPTR Desktop.
