Hello!

I realized that column width problem in QTableWidget was actually the Qt bug.

I mostly finished work in this branch though it still needs some testing.

Hello! I realized that column width problem in `QTableWidget` was actually the [Qt bug](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-67131). I mostly finished work in this branch though it still needs some testing.

Can we have some sort of fallback qtpy bundled?

Probably yes. I thought of it, just forgot. I think it should be slim compatibility layer which just imports PyQt5.

BTW, I decided to finish UI refactoring in separate branch.

These tests are wrong as they compare strings and it thinks '4.11.4' < '4.8'. You need to use

from distiutils.version import LooseVersion

and then wrap these comparisons in LooseVersion like qtpy does it.

I tried it, and it runs both with pyqt4 and pyqt5 and you can use the environment variable QT_API to override. Well done. I haven't looked at it in detail, but it seems pretty straightforward, just a lot of string replacements of Qt4 to QtPy. Please clean up the linter complaints and I'll try to do a full review asap.

OK, I manually resolved pycodestyle warnings in bitmessageqt.settings module. pycodestyle devs refuse to implement per file ignore statements.

So, except for review, there are two questions remaining for this PR:

  1. maybe set wordWrap to false also for address book?
  2. #1435

Ping? I intend to remove pybitmessage from pkgsrc, unless there will be added qt5 support in place.

Strange decision. The main application of PyBitmessage is daemon, not the bitmessageqt UI.

The main problem of this changeset is handling of myTableWidgetItem.data(). I'm trying to debug it in branches ui-refactoring and ui-changes using PyQt4. Then that changes will be rebased on top of this branch and I will require a review. But if you just need the PyQt5 based UI you may use this branch as qt5 support patch like I do in my ebuild and like gentoo does. What's a problem?

@krytarowski – – I never heard of pkgsrc in my life. turns out it is some AUR for NetBSD or sth..

@dimyme, @krytarowski is probably maintaining a Bitmessage package for Arch Linux. Arch Linux uses the latest releases of software pretty much all the time, which makes supporting old libraries like Qt4 difficult. As an Arch Linux user and package maintainer myself, I feel his pain!

Maintainers can apply patches to make software work on Arch Linux but typically the "Arch way" is to use as close to upstream as possible. This is a preview to come for other distributions as Arch Linux usually leads with the way with cutting edge software.

At some point, I'm going to work on a Snap for Bitmessage, which will give linux users another option for install Bitmessage.

it is not – @dmp1ce – that we don't know Qt4 is getting lese and less support. but "someone" gotta actually do the upgrading… so far it is W.I.P.

I just use NetBSD and actually dropped bitmessage from pkgsrc. I can readd it in future once it will support Qt5 out of the box.

Yes. You may do a review but there is a known problem with myTableWidgetItem.data() which I planned to address in the next part of ui-refactoring PR series.

It turns out that on Windows pyelliptic uses openssl dll bundled with PyQt4:

>>> from ctypes.util import find_library
>>> find_library('libeay32')
'C:\\Python27\\Lib\\site-packages\\PyQt4\\libeay32.dll'

How your translation bot is doing? He hasn't been seen for a long time.

It's on a machine that's scheduled to be decommissioned, I haven't monitored it and think it's broken. It needs to be moved to buildbot. But one thing needs to be checked in this PR manually, and that is translating strings with arguments. I don't know if it supports format, at least the Qt4 version didn't.

I faced another bug similar to #1758 in this branch ): https://travis-ci.org/github/g1itch/PyBitmessage/jobs/771253480
It's surely introduced in 49f9620 or one of my quickfix commits, because when I remove them it passes the dry run test: https://travis-ci.org/github/g1itch/PyBitmessage/jobs/771261369
But it's harder to find the exact part because 49f9620 is squashed like hell.

I'll try. But I suspect that most of them are related to the _translate() result (Qt API v2).

Also, after separating the qidenticon work I changed my mind about the fallback: now I'm going to replace that from qtpy import .. by from PyQt5 import .. and fallback.qtpy by fallback.PyQt5 based on qtpy.

And while testing it on ubuntu 18 & 20 versions, I found that the appimage builds of this PR are not taking keyboard inputs.
