I have fallen behind on maintaining this matrix and can't make any estimates on when I will catch up. You can see the prebuilt offerings at <a href="https://pypi.org/project/pyqt6-plugins/#files">https://pypi.org/project/pyqt6-plugins/#files</a>. If you can make your way through the ci you may be able to figure out how to build it locally yourself. It should be doable but will probably take some figuring out of incantations... Sorry.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Your error is based on the tools being intended for use with a specific PyQt version which I also haven't updated for. Apparently with 6.0.2 PyQt had not yet switched to the stable ABI so it is only available for Python 3.6 through 3.9. <a href="https://pypi.org/project/PyQt6/6.0.2/#files">https://pypi.org/project/PyQt6/6.0.2/#files</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Sorry I don't have better news here.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>-kyle</div><div><br></div><div>On Fri, Apr 29, 2022, at 12:24, <a href="mailto:kristof.mulier@telenet.be">kristof.mulier@telenet.be</a> wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);--darkreader-inline-color:#ffffff;"><div>I installed the <span style=""><span class="font" style="font-family:"courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Python 3.11</span></span> pre-release on my Windows 11 computer:<br></div><div><a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3110a7/">https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3110a7/</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>I installed it in the folder <span style=""><span class="font" style="font-family:"courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">C:\Python311\</span></span><br></div><div><br></div><div>Then I launched a command prompt and installed wheel, <span style=""><span class="font" style="font-family:"courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">pyqt6</span></span> and <span style=""><span class="font" style="font-family:"courier new", courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">pyqt6-tools</span></span>.
