Re: [PyQt] Question about the PyQt future (PyQt5)
Hello Phil, thanks for the answers. Work is in progress to make eric5 and all it's plug-ins compatible with Python2. Once that is accomplished, support for eric4 would be dropped starting with the next stable eric5 release (whenever that will be after Py2 compatibility is reached). One future step in eric development could be to port it to PyQt5. Hence my interest in your plans. Meanwhile I got a few more questions. 1) Will PyQt5 and PyQt4 be API compaitble (i.e. exchangable) as long as only stuff that is covered by PyQt4 is used? 2) Will PyQt4 support Qt5 after the release of PyQt5 or will that be dropped? 3) What could be the benefit switch eric5 over to PyQt5? Btw, did you realize, that it is now a bit over ten years you handed over the 'broken' eric debugger to me and pulled me into the business? It was on 24.11.2002, when the first alpha release of eric3, the first eric IDE, was announced.

However, I would like to ask two questions. The answer to these could influence the current plans and work for eric5. Will PyQt5 be usable with Python2 and 3 or Python3 only? I haven't decided yet. I may develop and test with Python3 only but treat reported problems with Python2 as bugs. For how long will PyQt4 and PyQt5 be maintained in parallel? I have no plans to drop PyQt4 and I'm being very careful to make sure that maintaining it will not be a significant effort.

If there is a better (but incompatible) way of doing something I'll change it for PyQt5. 2) Will PyQt4 support Qt5 after the release of PyQt5 or will that be dropped? It will continue to support Qt5 - but won't support any new features of Qt5. 3) What could be the benefit switch eric5 over to PyQt5? Only if there are new features introduced in Qt5 that you want to use. I think PyQt4 on Qt5 will be much more important than PyQt5 for some time.

Re: [PyQt] QTextBlockUserData forgotten in SIP 4.14.3, bug?

I do invite people to test current snapshots before making a release but I suspect people rarely do. Phil hi, the ipython qtconsole 0.13.1 and current git head has this issue since 4.10 too and it is not fixed by the latest snapshot. $ python -c from PyQt4.pyqtconfig import Configuration; print Configuration().pyqt_version_str snapshot-4.10.1-19c32f448665 $ ipython qtconsole if 1: print 1 and you get lots of tracebacks of this type: Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/frontend/qt/console/frontend_widget.py, line 59, in highlightBlock super(FrontendHighlighter, self).highlightBlock(string) File /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/frontend/qt/console/pygments_highlighter.py, line 107, in highlightBlock self._lexer._saved_state_stack = prev_data.syntax_stack AttributeError: 'QTextBlockUserData' object has no attribute 'syntax_stack' I tried the latest snapshot (PyQt-x11-gpl-snapshot-4.10.1-19c32f448665.tar.gz, what I believe is the relevant diff is attached) but it did not fix the issue. Is this another bug or an intentional change? It's an IPython bug.
