Python 3.10 support?

[CaioVSales]

Hello!

Is there any support for python 3.10?
I tried to install pyqt5-tools with python 3.10 but it throw me an error, but when i tried with python 3.9.7 it worked.

Nothing yet, sorry. I need to make time to take a pass through all four layers adding 3.10 and latest Qt 6. Of course, macOS now has two architectures that they package together so I need a PyPI file size limit increase. Also, the build matrix got too big for GitHub Actions' 256 job limit so I need to drop builds for some older versions.

Thanks for your interest and my apologies for the wait.

[CaioVSales]

Thanks for the reply, i'll be waiting for new releases soon and keep working with python 3.9.

I'd leave this open for others to see. The question was answered but the support isn't here yet. :]

Additionally, PyPi version requires PyQt5 5.15.4 while only 5.15.5 is compatible with Python 3.10. Pyqt5-plugins also need to be updated.

Workaround:

Remove all PyQt5 software.

Download from PyPi file PyQt5-5.15.4-cp36.cp37.cp38.cp39-none-win_amd64.whl.
Rename it to PyQt5-5.15.4-py3-none-win_amd64.whl.
Install this file by pip.

Download from PyPi file pyqt5_plugins-5.15.4.2.2-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl.
Rename it to pyqt5_plugins-5.15.4.2.2-py3-none-win_amd64.whl.
Install this file by pip.

Install pyqt5-tools by pip form PyPi.

Thanks, I tried your hacks. It seems installed successfully now.

In such way, I can remove PyQt5Designer.

C:\Users\Liu.D.H>pip uninstall PyQt5Designer
Found existing installation: PyQt5Designer 5.14.1
Uninstalling PyQt5Designer-5.14.1:

#98 (comment)

This rename method did not work for me. I'm using: pyqt6_tools-6.1.0.3.2, PyQt6-6.3.1.

Any help to get this working will be appreciated.

[czheng5]

Well, seems like I have crashed into another wall trying to install pyqt6-tools this way after these months.
