 You can embed Matplotlib directly into a user interface application by
 following the embedding_in_SOMEGUI.py examples here. Currently
-matplotlib supports wxpython, pygtk, tkinter and pyqt4/5.
+Matplotlib supports PyQt/PySide, PyGObject, Tkinter, and wxPython.
 
 When embedding Matplotlib in a GUI, you must use the Matplotlib API
 directly rather than the pylab/pyplot proceedural interface, so take a
