pyqt6 - is there a path to releasing this? #124

Closed andyfaff closed 1 year ago

Comment:

I'm wondering if there is a plan for releasing the feedstock to target pyqt6? There isn't a pyqt5 package for macosx_arm64 on either PyPI or conda-forge. There is a pyqt6 package on PyPI, but I'm hoping it'll make it to conda-forge soon.

I guess that one of the stumbling blocks may be native building of Qt6 and pyqt6. I know that cirrus-ci can be used for native builds for the macosx_arm64 platform, does conda-forge use cirrus yet?

Conda-forge packages for PyQt5 are simply called pyqt, not pyqt5, and there are already packages available for arm64.

See conda-forge/qt-main-feedstock#49.

Sorry, I should've been clearer about where the pain point is here. I maintain a package that uses PyQt for the front end GUI. When people install my package they are installing dependencies using wheels from PyPI or via conda. Now let's say we have a macosx_arm64 user.

PyQt v5:

PyQt v6:

Thus, there is no version of PyQt for which there are packages available from PyPI AND from conda(-forge). This makes it hard to figure out how to service my user base. Should I focus on wheels to the detriment of the conda-forge package I create or vice-versa?

I don't know how to answer your question, but you need to pick one of them for now.

I think this issue should be reopened in the sense that there still is no conda-forge image for pyqt version 6, independently of whether that would be its own package or just a new major version.

Note that qt-main chose to publish a qt6 package:

https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/qt6-main

https://github.com/conda-forge/qt-main-feedstock/blob/qt6/

and so did pyside: https://github.com/conda-forge/pyside2-feedstock
