FTR, I see one (two) issues with PyQt6, sadly:
1. The PyQt6 docs appear to be mostly auto-generated from the C++ docs. And they contain many errors or broken examples (due to the auto-conversion). I found this relatively unpleasent to work with.
2. (Until Python *finally* gets rid of the Global Interpreter Lock *properly*, it’s not really suited for GUI programs anyway – in my opinion. You can’t offload anything to a second thread, because the whole program is still single-threaded. This would have made my fractal rendering program impossible, for example.)
@movq I think I now remember having similar problems back then. I'm pretty sure I typically consulted the Qt C++ documentation and only very rarely looked at the Python one. It was easy enough to translate the C++ code to Python.
Yeah, the GIL can be problematic at times. I'm glad it wasn't an issue for my application.
