This pull request updates the project from PyQt5 to the latest version, PyQt6.
Why we need the feature
Upgrading to PyQt6 allows us to take advantage of the latest features, performance improvements, and security updates. PyQt6 offers enhanced support for modern Python versions and provides a more robust framework for building responsive and feature-rich user interfaces.
How to implement and why
Update Dependencies: Modify requirements.txt and requirements.pytorch.txt to replace PyQt5 with PyQt6. This ensures that the project uses the latest PyQt6 library.
Refactor Codebase: PyQt6 introduces several API changes and deprecations compared to PyQt5. Review and update all instances where PyQt5 is used to align with PyQt6 syntax and functionalities. This may include renaming modules, classes, and methods as required by PyQt6.
Update UI Components: Adjust UI components and layouts to be compatible with PyQt6. Test all UI elements to ensure they render correctly and behave as expected.
Testing: Run the existing test suite to identify any issues arising from the upgrade. Update tests as necessary to accommodate changes in the PyQt6 API.
Documentation: Update the project's documentation to reflect the upgrade to PyQt6, including any new setup instructions or dependencies.
These steps ensure a comprehensive and smooth transition from PyQt5 to PyQt6, leveraging the benefits of the latest framework version while maintaining the application's functionality.
About backward compatibility
PyQt6 introduces breaking changes that are not backward compatible with PyQt5. This update does not maintain backward compatibility with PyQt5, as the goal is to fully migrate to PyQt6. Users will need to upgrade to the latest version of the application to benefit from the improvements provided by PyQt6.
