You (or your customers) will get into a lot of trouble: https://python3statement.org/ There are *many* common libraries you won't be able to use anymore, I don't see why Qt would be an exception. > If Qt6 withdraws support for Python 2 then we'll be unable to adopt Qt6 - > simple as that. If you're okay with using a Python version which is 10 years old, surely you should be okay with continuing to use Qt 5 (at least as long as 5.15 LTS is supported, but possibly even longer) as well? I mean, at that point you don't get any security fixes and such for Python anyways, so I don't see how not being able to switch to Qt 6 would be a problem.
