Environment

OS: Linux Python version: 3.11 Toolkit: Qt Qt API: PyQt6

Description

When running the traitsui pyqt6 tests I get:

ERROR: test_create_traitsfont_pyface_font (traitsui.qt.tests.test_font_trait.TestPyQtFont.test_create_traitsfont_pyface_font)

AttributeError: type object 'QFont' has no attribute 'Decorative'

With PyQt6 this is now QFont.StyleHint.Decorative. I don't know how pyface is supposed to handle this difference.

[corranwebster]

Thanks for the report - due to issues like this PyQt6 is not yet supported.

I think a simple PR to change it to QFont.StyleHint.Decorative would be backward compatible. But it is likely there would be multiple other similar changes. This update process is very hard to automate.

I tried changing it to QFont.StyleHint.Decorative but that seemed to break the Qt5 tests.

A similar problem related to this is:

C:\Users\...\Lib\site-packages\pyface\ui\qt\code_editor\code_widget.py:57: in __init__
    font.setStyleHint(QtGui.QFont.TypeWriter)
E   AttributeError: type object 'QFont' has no attribute 'TypeWriter'
