PyQt only contains the bindings. You share the same Qt environment across your system (hence qmake needs to be in your path). The python package itself is not that big (~10 MB).
- josefx 5y agoThe comment on top of this chain is about letting every package specify its own versioned dependencies. So how would that global version work out when python needs 5.1 and some other software specifies 5.2?
- mccorrinall 5y agoQt minor releases are backwards binary and source compatible, but not forward. Therefore this would not be an issue.
- josefx 5y agoThat guarantee only applies to Qt itself, I would expect that the newer Qt binary was also compiled against all the other newest versions of its own dependencies. Good luck finding a backwards compatibility promise for all of them.
