Hi,
Thank you for contacting us about it. I think the least intrusive option is:
Patch Spyder 2.3.8 to disable the features relying on QtWebkit
That would break our Object Inspector, but that's an annoyance that
unfortunately Debian users will have to put up with.
Although I really, really would prefer that you would start to package
Spyder 3.0beta2 instead of doing that (because I don't want to deal with
bug reports about the breakage that you will introduce and that at the
end is not our fault but your decision).
Cheers,
Carlos
PS. Moving 2.3.8 to PyQt5 is not an option, so please don't try it.

I am contacting you on behalf of the package maintainers in Debian to
discuss the current status of the Spyder package in the archive and
the best course of actions moving forward.
The Spyder package is currently sync'd with the latest stable version
(2.3.8). However, it is currently affected by the following RC bug
(planned QtWebkit 4 removal), which prevents it to transition to the
testing distribution. We are planning to package Spyder 3.x at some
point but quite a few dependencies are currently missing or needs to
be packaged (Jupyter, QtAwesome...), so the process will take time.
Meanwhile, I would like to explore the possibility to maintain 2.3.8 a
little longer by removing the problematic dependency on qt4webkit. So
far, I can think of the following 2 options:
- Patch / port spyder 2.3.8 to support PyQt5, perhaps using the
existing work on master.
- Patch spyder 2.3.8 to disable the features relying on qt4webkit.
- Other options?
Can I have your opinion on which option(s) sound the least painful
from a maintenance point-of-view. Or perhaps none of these are worth
considering because it would be too much work. Looking forward to your
feedback.
Many thanks,
