PyQt6 for new contributions? about openmotor

[reilleya]

Hi! Cool to hear that you are interested in helping out. I specifically put together that PyQt6 branch in the hopes that it would fix some of the issues that the software currently has with high DPI displays on Windows, which were only mostly resolved in that ticket. Upgrading it didn't seem to help, but it sounds like there are other reasons to merge that branch. I can try to get it merged this weekend if you want to build off of it!

That would be really good!

On my experiments it got to a point that the python setup.py build_ui step failed due to the PyQt Distutils not supporting pyqt6. Did you manage to get the full workflow of building it working? Otherwise I would take a look at that too

@reilleya once you merged you can close this and I will know I can start cracking :)
(I really appreciate it! Thanks again!)

Sorry for the delay! Did you get a specific error when you tried to build the UI? I was able to install the latest version of pyqt-distutils and it worked fine. I just force pushed the branch with a minor tweak to pyuic.json to remove something that was still pointing at a pyqt5 tool. Let me know if it is working better.
