Missing types for Public Variables

[boldar99]

The variables that correspond to Public Variables of the C++ implementation don't have type annotations.

One example would be the QStyleOption class:
The C++ doc: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qstyleoption.html#public-variables
The PySides6 doc: https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-6/PySide6/QtWidgets/QStyleOption.html#PySide6.QtWidgets.PySide6.QtWidgets.QStyleOption.version
Stubs: https://github.com/python-qt-tools/PySide6-stubs/blob/main/PySide6-stubs/QtWidgets.pyi#L7038-L7086

But other classes seem to miss these variables as well, e.g., QStyleHintReturnVariant, PixmapFragment.

Indeed.

One would have to experiment to see if we can detect which variables are public variables, and what their type is. Then amend the stubs with this information.

I am not sure that it is feasible, it might be just easier to report that to Qt and wait looooooooooooooong for their fix.

Thanks for the response! I have submitted an issue to Qt: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2452. Hopefully, they'll fix it soon!

I tried with #5 . I can identify public variable, I can identify some limited type information. Unfortunately, I can not get a fully qualified type name. I can identify a type as "QRect" or "StateFlag". But this is not sufficient for annotating the variables. Especially since some subclasses in Qt can have the same name in multiple different classes.

So, parsing the stubs is not going to solve this problem.

I have no other ideas at the moment...
