***the optional __getattr__ in module objects was successfully implemented (but is seldom used)
***lazy init of Enums is probably no more needed, covered by the import scheme below
***most common cases like "from PySide6.QtWidgets import QLabel" supported by another __import__ override
***Keep your fingers crossed, testing starts today
**[https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-2419 PYSIDE-2419] QLocale::language() returns wrong on macOS.
***Caused by QLocale infrastructure which looks at Info.plist inside the Python interpreter macOS bundle.

**
*Bugs & Features

    • Qt Meetups are starting to popup in Berlin and other countries! we might join some of them.
    • Discussions around improving the Qt Creator experience and UI creation in general.
    • There has been some motivation from Qt/C++ to use more CMake in projects (like for resources), which is negatively affecting the Python projects, due to the lack of CMake in the Python projects.
  • Infra & Releases
    • Commercial LTS 5.15.15 to be released soon.
    • 6.5.3 scheduled for the first week of September
  • Bugs & Features

    • CMake FindPython patches are still being worked out, the wrong interpreter is being found.

    • qtpip works continues.

17. August 2023

  • Bugs & Features
    • Investigating on PyPySide MI segfault postponed but on To-Do list PYSIDE-1991
    • PYSIDE-2404 More Progress in Lazy Initialization
      • the optional __getattr__ in module objects was successfully implemented (but is seldom used)
      • lazy init of Enums is probably no more needed, covered by the import scheme below
      • most common cases like "from PySide6.QtWidgets import QLabel" supported by another __import__ override
      • Keep your fingers crossed, testing starts today
    • PYSIDE-2419 QLocale::language() returns wrong on macOS.
      • Caused by QLocale infrastructure which looks at Info.plist inside the Python interpreter macOS bundle.
      • Working on a hack fix after consulting Tor Arne and Eddy.
    • Pacthelf removal - cross compilation breaks. Working on a fix.
    • PYSIDE-2421 - QWebEngineView.print() - rerouted to Qt
      • But, might requires an ownership fix in Shiboken once QTBUG-116052 is resolved
    • Research - use the .debug files provided by the Qt installer to debug from VSCode.
      • Saves time from not building Qt everytime
      • Still ongoing
    • QtAsyncio: Implementation of asyncio.Server (one open question remains - asyncio API and Qt API don't always match as cleanly as desirable).

10. August 2023

  • General
  • Infra & Releases
  • Bugs & Features
    • Patchelf removal only partially possible because of using patchelf on prebuilt Qt binaries.
      • For Qfp binaries patchelf removal under review. MacOS issue being fixed. This is needed for Android.
    • Shiboken module cmake installation bug fixed.
    • Progressing with Android C++ to Python callback, now that Qfp binaries could be loaded on startup.
    • Further investigating on PyPySide MI segfault PYSIDE-1991
    • PYSIDE-2404 Progress in Lazy Initialization
      • the new dual registration is done and builds the base for concrete lazy init
      • lazy init of Enums postponed because
      • an undocumented optional __getattr__ in module objects makes it much easier to lazy-load whole classes, first.
