Resolves #39

What is the feature

Upgrade the project from PyQt5 to PyQt6, updating all dependencies and code to be compatible with the latest PyQt version.

Why we need the feature

PyQt6 offers improved features, better support, and continued maintenance compared to PyQt5. Upgrading ensures the project remains up-to-date with the latest developments, benefits from performance enhancements, and maintains compatibility with other modern libraries and tools.

How to implement and why

  1. Update Dependencies:

    • Modify the requirements.txt to replace PyQt5 with PyQt6.
    • Ensure all other dependencies are compatible with PyQt6.

  2. Refactor Import Statements:

    • Search and replace all instances of PyQt5 imports to PyQt6.
    • Example: Change from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication to from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication.

  3. Address API Changes:

    • Review PyQt6 documentation to identify any deprecated or changed APIs.
    • Refactor the codebase to accommodate these changes, ensuring functionality remains consistent.

  4. Update UI Components:

    • If using Qt Designer or other UI tools, regenerate UI files compatible with PyQt6.
    • Test all UI components to ensure they render and behave correctly.

  5. Testing:

    • Run the existing test suite to identify any breaking changes.
    • Update tests as necessary to align with the new PyQt6 APIs.
    • Perform manual testing of the application to ensure all features work as expected.

  6. Documentation:

    • Update the README.md and any other relevant documentation to reflect the change to PyQt6.
    • Provide migration notes if there are significant changes in functionality or usage.

This step-by-step approach ensures a smooth transition to PyQt6, minimizing disruptions and maintaining the stability of the application.

About backward compatibility

Upgrading to PyQt6 introduces breaking changes from PyQt5, which means the project will no longer be compatible with environments that exclusively support PyQt5. However, considering PyQt5's deprecated status and the benefits of PyQt6, the upgrade is justified. To assist users, we can provide a migration guide detailing the changes and required adjustments for those transitioning from PyQt5 to PyQt6.
