Q&A
- Ogi Moore:
- https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/PYSIDE-1924
- Thanks for being open to new compatibilities in NumPy.
- FK: Np* methods is there, so the idea now is to use void ptr?
** What I suggest is to use VoidPtr
- Regarding PyPy support: found some issue. Will open a bug report.
- Samuel
- wheels for ARM?
- Soon! Qt6 is arriving in Debian Testing, so once that's done we could workaround creating wheels.
- Here is a preliminary set of wheels on Debian 12 (testing) arm64 https://qtinfo.dev/624_aarch64.tar.gz
- Maybe the transformation of code within Qt/C++ snippets to a snippet file in Qt/C++ could be a nice task for people wanting to contribute.
- Then, if the snippet/file exist, we can transform it.
