No Qt-6 with pyqtdeploy?

[Patrick Stinson]

Oh gotcha. Smacks of sacrilege though! I have loved PyQt since I first heard of it in 2004 as it was a game changer back then. I never understood why its rapid prototyping without re-compile time and convenience of interpreted data structures didn’t dominate through the 2000’s and 2010’s before the typescript/reactive explosion. I admit I have kept my head in the sand with it and ignored other innovations to stay productive with what I have. And it is still great.

When you say “work being donor properly supporting Python on mobile”, I assume you mean from the CPython community? I haven’t been following that, got a link or two?
