Support Qt6

[0alpha]

As of just over a month ago, Qt6 came out. How much work is necessary to add support for Qt6?

I have no idea... but, I have been in touch with the QtPy team trying to get them started up on that. There are a few PRs including one for Qt 6 support which I am interested in and I've basically offered to work on whatever they need if we can get the project moving again. Depending on their progress and my own other tasks I may just make some effort here using the QtPy Qt 6 PR branch, but I haven't made that jump quite yet. With a little luck it isn't much work in this repo itself.

Thanks for the interest.

In case you happened to be interested in starting on this yourself... I would certainly provide help as you need it, and presuming it turns out well it would be merged.

any updates on that?

@altendky What is the current status of PySide6 support? While the released packages (qtrio-0.7 + qts-0.3) can be installed, running any code fails with You should not be here but you are running neither PyQt5 nor PySide2. All of these checks look like:

    if qts.is_pyqt_5_wrapper:
        event_hint = QtCore.QEvent.registerEventType(requested_value)
    elif qts.is_pyside_5_wrapper:
        event_hint = typing.cast(
            typing.Callable[[typing.Union[int, QtCore.QEvent.Type]], int],
            QtCore.QEvent.registerEventType,
        )(requested_value)
    else:  # pragma: no cover
        raise qtrio.InternalError(
            "You should not be here but you are running neither PyQt5 nor PySide2.",
        )

i.e, without the explicit check of the Qt wrapper the code would just work. Am I missing something?

From what I understand, the change between Pyside2 to Pyside6 should be minimal (the example code appears to me unchanged).
