Thanks for picking this up and pointing out the bits that aren't clear.

Yes that's correct. There is a pypi PyQt wheel for py3.4+ but not for
py2.7+.

should suffice to have people, devs or not, test the *results* of the
recipe (the wheel uploaded to PyPi). Am I missing something or shirking my
duties?

I'm believe the results of the recipe are solid. The ultimate end goal of
#562 is that the project doesn't rely solely on me for updating new
releases to pypi -- because I'm not all that timely! Though I'm quite happy
to do it when I'm around.

> Finally, I think work on #562 can proceed in parallel with the release of
Leo 5.2b1. Correct me if I am mistaken.  Until the 5.2 final, perhaps it
would be good to label the PyPi release with the short git hash of the rev
on which it is based.

In my imaginings normally only numbered releases would be uploaded to pypi,
though any interim state is possible. They just need to follow Semantic
Versioning, which means no commit hash. The pypi version is automatic,
handled in `git_version()` - https://github.com/leo-editor/
leo-editor/blob/master/setup.py#L25

I'm conflicted on this. I too wish for clean and concise descriptions of
the issue. But the comments are also like an email thread, full of
inconsequential-for-the-current-focus text, but all of which can help shed
light on other issues and ideas when coming from a different starting point.

child/grandchild nodes,

Will do. Coming up next.
