No. It might be just a case of changing import statements. If it is that simple I could do it myself.

Is there going to be any support for selecting Qt4 or Qt5 via flag (like sip.setapi) o are you planning to at some point make a PyQt5 package that uses only Qt5 while PyQt4 only uses Qt4?

PyQt5 would build against Qt5 only. PyQt4 would build against Qt4 or Qt5. The API wouldn't change (well, not much as the Qt5 API isn't exactly the same as the Qt4 API). The Qt version is a compile time issue. Phil ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
[PyQt] Qt5 roadmap?
Folks, Per the Qt Project roadmap (http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt_5.0) Qt 5 is supposed to be in beta now (the alpha is available at http://qt-project.org/prereleases), with final release by the end of June. I look in vain for a pyqt roadmap at riverbank.co.uk, although I do see roadmaps for sip and dip. So, what's the anticipation for PyQt5 release? Any news?
