I've just uploaded the latest version of QtPy (source: python-qtpy, binary: python3-qtpy). But I'm disturbed by the dependency list.
QtPy is a wrapper for PyQt5, PyQt6, PySide2 and PySide6 providing a uniform interface to these different packages. As such, setup.py etc. do not specify a dependency on any Qt library, but the package is of no use without at least one of them installed. At present, the Debian python3-qtpy package depends on 17 python3-pyqt5* packages, which seems to be at odds with the intention of the package to be Qt-package agnostic. It seems that it would be cleaner for python3-qtpy to Recommends: python3-pyqt5 | python3-pyside2.qtcore or perhaps to Depends: on these, and then if any packages require any more functionality than that provided by python3-pyqt5 or python3-pyside2.qtcore, they should explicitly state the packages they depend on. But it seems strange that a package depending on python3-qtpy should automatically pull in python3-pyqt5.qttexttospeech, for example. On the other hand, there are 13 packages in testing that depend on python3-qtpy, so they would potentially all require modifications to their dependencies if we made this change. (Three of these are "mine", but that still leaves 10 that are not.) I have not yet gone through all 13 to see what python3-pyqt5.* dependencies they actually have. I'd appreciate thoughts on how to proceed from this group before doing anything. Best wishes, Julian
