While we do require PyQt, it's not possible to declare that we require
either 5 or 6, and so we need to mark it as optional. Instead, we
provide optional dependencies, so the user can e.g. 'pip install aqt[qt6]'
The enum changes should work on PyQt 5.x, and are required in PyQt 6.x.
They are not supported by the PyQt5 typings however, so we need to run
our tests with PyQt6.
Means URLs like :/icons/foo.jpg should become icons:foo.jpg
This is part of the prep work for a PyQt6 update. PyQt6 has dropped
pyrcc, so we can longer generate the icons_qrc.py file we did previously.
Qt Designer expects us to use the resource system, so we continue to
generate the icons.qrc file to make editing the UI files easier. But at
runtime, we no longer use that file.
Running and testing should be working on the three platforms, but
there's still a fair bit that needs to be done:
- Wheel building + testing in a venv still needs to be implemented.
- Python requirements still need to be compiled with piptool and pinned;
need to compile on all platforms then merge
- Cargo deps in cargo/ and rslib/ need to be cleaned up, and ideally
unified into one place
- Currently using rustls to work around openssl compilation issues
on Linux, but this will break corporate proxies with custom SSL
authorities; need to conditionally use openssl or use

- Makefiles and docs still need cleaning up
- It may make sense to reparent ts/* to the top level, as we don't
nest the other modules under a specific language.
- rspy and pylib must always be updated in lock-step, so merging
rspy into pylib as a private module would simplify things.
- Merging desktop-ftl and mobile-ftl into the core ftl would make
managing and updating translations easier.
- Obsolete scripts need removing.
- And probably more.
