 """
 **QtPy** is a shim over the various Python Qt bindings. It is used to write
-Qt binding indenpendent libraries or applications.
+Qt binding independent libraries or applications.
 
 If one of the APIs has already been imported, then it will be used.

+Otherwise, the shim will automatically select the first available API
+following the list; in that case, you can force the use of one
 specific bindings (e.g. if your application is using one specific bindings and
 you need to use library that use QtPy) by setting up the ``QT_API`` environment
 variable.
 
+For each binding selected, there are more three attempts if it not found,
+following the most recent (Qt5) and most stable (PyQt) API. See bellow:
+
+ * PyQt5: PySide2, PyQt4, PySide
+ * PySide2: PyQt5, PyQt4, PySide
+ * PyQt4: PySide, PyQt5, PySide2
+ * PySide: PyQt4, PyQt5, PySide2
+
+The default value for QT_API is PyQt5 (not case sensitive).
+
+The clearest way to set which API is to be used by QtPy is setting``QT_API``
+environment variable.
+If any of binding is imported directly anywhere, but before you import QtPy,
+this binding will be used, overwriting your definition.
+
+Priority when setting the Qt binding API:
+
+ 1 Have been already imported any Qt binding (not recommended):
+ 1.1 QT_API is not set, pass, no output;
+ 1.2 QT_API is set to the same binding, pass, no output;
+ 1.3 QT_API is set to differ binding, ignore QT_API, pass but warns;
+
+ 2 Have NOT been already imported any Qt binding:
+ 2.1 QT_API is set correctly, pass;
+ 2.1.1 If binding is found, pass, no output;
+ 2.1.2 If binding is not found, try another one (more three):
+ 2.1.2.a If any is found (different from set), pass but warns;
+ 2.1.2.b If no one is found, stop, error;
+ 2.2 QT_API is not set correctly, stop, error;
