@dalthviz Maybe you should disable test workflow by editing .github/workflow/test_pull_request.yml to speedup CI and reduce obsolete runs?

[dalthviz]

Thanks @Czaki for the suggestion! But I'm not totally sure to understand the idea 😅

As a quick summary of the PR checks state, I think that all the prerelease checks are passing now :) However, checking the last error shown over the checks, seems like it comes from a pyqt5-qt5==5.15.2 constraint (which maybe comes from the constraint files?). Since now macos-latest ends up being macOS 14 arm64 and there are only macOS intel wheels for pyqt5-qt5==5.15.2 pip ends up showing a ResolutionImpossible error 🤔

Could it be that disabling the pull request test workflow could help with that? The only thing that occurs to me is to change from macos-latest image to some other image (macos-12, macos-13, macos-latest-large or some other) 🤔

Let me know what do you think!

Edit: Changing the macOS image seems like indeed worked!

It is surprising for me that pyqt5 has macos arm wheels but pyqt5-qt which is dependency of pyqt5 does not have such wheels..

no. It was for test sped up as repo has low level limits on macos runners, But as you resolved the problem it is not needed.

What's really odd is that newer releases only have macOS wheels: https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5-Qt5/5.15.13/#files

on my arm64: pip install pyqt5 pulls:

What's really odd is that newer releases only have macOS wheels:

it is my bad. There were two packages. pyqt5-qt and pyqt5-qt5 and pyqt5-qt is deprecated.

But pyqt5-qt5 release 5.15.2 is for all systems, except macos-arm. And 5.15.11, 5.15.12, and 5.15.13 are macos only, because of this, our pinning dependencies do not pick them.

I have send mail to PyQt5 maintainer with ask about Linux and Widows wheels for PyQt5-Qt5==5.15.13
