The PyQt6-stubs haven't made it to PyPI yet so you'll have to install via `pyqt6-stubs @ git+https://github.com/python-qt-tools/pyqt6-stubs` or similar.

The pyqt5-stubs and pyqt6-stubs are attempts to 1) offer better hints to users and 2) offer a reference for Phil to work from to fix the official hints.
