Remove deprecated libraries (pyqt4, pygtk) #225

Closed stephenfin closed 2 weeks ago

stephenfin commented 2 years ago

Both the PyGTK and PyQt4 libraries have been unsupported for many years. They complicate the codebase and it's time we drop support for them. If people still care about these, they can use older versions of pyperclip.

I note that there are a couple of patches open to add support for the new GObject library in place for PyGTK. I'd be happy to drop that part of this PR and/or fold those PRs in here if that would help.

Seeing similar issues with gtk. Looks like others are trying to avoid them with their implementations in #233 & #182. Are there blockers preventing this PR (or one of the others) from being merged?
