Replace PyQt imports with qtpy

jo-mueller commented 2 years ago

importing PyQt in Python projects is one of the key ways to screw up repositories. It would be better to change all imports that rely on PyQt5 (which are A LOT in this project) to qtpy imports, which forms a compatibility layer above PyQt5 and should thus be more compatible with other platforms/computer/environments/etc

@schneidorlein, can I assign you to this? It would also be a nice exercise on how to work with github (I've only really learned it myself recently, tbh^^").

The conduct would be this:

create a branch from the master branch
do the changes necessary to fix this issue (and only these changes!)
Send a pull request with the changes made (Github offers the "Compare and pull request" button of you go to your branch on the github page.
We will then review the changes and merge it if all works :)

Let me know if you need any help with this!

I can try this (#21 and #22), but I also do not have a lot of experience with Github yet :D How urgent is it? ;)

Ah - there's a comment :) Feel free to always add @jo-mueller to the comment, then I'll get notified.

Not at all. Consider these tasks to be opportunities to get to know github a bit better (it's really powerful) within the scope of relatively small changes.
