ANN: PyQt v5.9.1 and SIP v4.19.4 Released

[Phil Thompson-5]

PyQt v5.9.1 has been released (along with corresponsing releases of PyQt3D, PyQtChart, PyQtDataVisualization and PyQtPurchasing). These add support for Qt v5.9.2.

The Linux wheel for PyQt has yet to be uploaded to PyPI as it seems to have hit a limit on the size of a wheel. I'm trying to get this resolved.

SIP v4.19.4 has also been released. This includes the ability to add enable (at runtime) strict overflow checking when converting from Python integers.

With SIP v4.19.4 and PyQt 5.9 on Linux,  code like this breaks:

buttonBox = QDialogButtonBox(
    QDialogButtonBox.Cancel | QDialogButtonBox.Ok | QDialogButtonBox.Help
)
self.helpButton = buttonBox.button(QDialogButtonBox.Help)  # type: QPushButton

As far as I can tell, that code is correct. Unfortunately with sip==4.19.4, self.helpButton is assigned the value None, instead of the QPushButton. Moreover, the 
QPushButtons do not appear to the user, so it seems they're never actually created when the QDialogButtonBox is instantiated. 

The problem is that when you install PyQt5.9 from PyPi, by default it installs SIP 4.19.4, not SIP 4.19.3. When SIP is downgraded to 4.19.3, the code works as expected.

Unfortunately in the requirements.txt for my application, a specific sip version is not specified. So currently I'm getting bug reports from unhappy users reporting broken code.

Phil, do you have an ETA for PyQT 5.9.1 for Linux on Pypi? Until it does show up, is it possible to tell Pypi to install sip 4.19.3 when installing PyQt5.9?

Thanks,

Damon

It's a regression that affects all platforms. SIP v4.19.5 has been released.

I don't have an ETA for the Linux wheel as it is completely out of my control and I'm getting no response from the relevant person.

Thanks,
Phil

Have you tried opening an issue at
https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems/issues with package and file size
limit? That seems to be the usual place where people request this.
