Python 3.11 support #108

liudonghua123 · 2022-11-28T00:48:40Z

I update my python to 3.11 recently, now I try to install pyqt5 and pyqt5-tools. The pyqt5 installation is success, but pyqt5-tools is failed with the the similar errors when I install on python 3.10.

So I tried the same workaround I commented on #98 (comment) which I used on python 3.10.

wget https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/5e/1b/5edc9b05c33d75f9cea3159ae3d1ff11369a0afe84eddaf5b3974b0769d1/pyqt5_plugins-5.15.4.2.2-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
mv pyqt5_plugins-5.15.4.2.2-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl pyqt5_plugins-5.15.4.2.2-py3-none-win_amd64.whl
pip install pyqt5_plugins-5.15.4.2.2-py3-none-win_amd64.whl

But it failed with the following errors.

Same issue here!

daniel9184 · 2023-02-01T04:58:27Z

Thanks a lot! After changing the "Requires-Dist: pyqt6 (==6.1.0)" to only "Requires-Dist: pyqt6" on the metadata, it worked for pyqt6 on python 3.11!

Baboomba · 2023-03-22T14:32:31Z

Thank you, it works well!

I regret that current developer doesn't use this library. It doesn't make update properly.

altendky · 2023-03-25T14:50:04Z

I'm trying to make it to a new release. #110

But yes, libraries maintained by people that don't use them aren't great. At least not when they tend to hit all sorts of goofy corner cases when new versions of three major dependencies come out. (Python, PyQt, and Qt) Having other people step up and add CI coverage for new dependency releases and then debug and fix them would be a great help.

Anyways, sorry for the hassle all. Hopefully this time I actually manage to get all the way to a release.

Also, if you don't need the plugins and just want the qt applications, consider the qt5-tools and qt6-tools packages that aren't dependent on PyQt and are also not specific to any Python 3 version.

altendky · 2023-03-25T14:51:15Z

Though yes, even those are behind and not providing the latest Qt application versions.

altendky · 2023-03-27T19:33:45Z

Hey all, this is a common note I'm adding to several issues.

I apologize for the hassle you have all dealt with around this project. I don't work with Qt anymore and every time I've come back to this I have run into various problems trying to get it going again. This time I made it through the five days of work to get the release out (fingers crossed that it actually works). It would be great to get some community involvement around updating and debugging whatever issues come up. Maybe the next Python, Qt, or PyQt release will provide an opportunity for someone to offer that. Maybe I'll find time to continue cleaning this up so it's a bit more maintainable. If interested, there's been some discussion about the project at #110.

In an effort to make it easier to monitor issues around the latest release I am closing this issue. Discussion can continue if still applicable, but I want to make it easier to move forward. If there are issues with the new releases, please open new issues.

Things to be aware of that may ease some cases:

If you just want the Qt applications, you can directly use qt-tools which provides helpers around qt-applications. This skips the PyQt specific layers. You won't have access to the plugins, such as for showing custom PyQt Designer widget plugins in Designer, but you also won't have the hassle of needing a version matching your PyQt version. At least not quite as closely.
If I once again fail to maintain this, or you just want a specific version I didn't include, you can set environment variables to select the versions when building. PYQT_VERSION=6.5.0 QT_VERSION=6.5.2 venv/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/altendky/[email protected] for example would try to build and install qt-applications v2.3 including (a theoretical future) PyQt version 6.5.0 and Qt 6.5.2. I'm sure there are corners around this, but it would be relevant.
