Updating to Font Awesome 6

[jshipley]

Other than replacing the Font Awesome 5 icons with Font Awesome 6 icons, I did a couple of things

• Updated the lxml dependency so this will also work on newer versions of Python (fixes issue #5 and #7)
• Updated the README.md and demo.py screenshot
• Added support for aliases, so programs using the Font Awesome 5 version will still work
  • This means that fa-basketball, fa-basketball-ball, and basketball will all get the basketball icon
• Removed duplicate svgs directory, and removed the Font Awesome directories from svgs
  • This would mean that the Font Awesome icons would need to be downloaded again before running consolidate.py, but the most likely case for this would be a Font Awesome update anyway, and this prevents massive diffs when updating the icons
• Made consolidate.py write to tkfontawesome/svgs.py instead of tkfontawesome/svgs/svgs.py

I still get the installation error @jshipley

Is the module still not installable?

for me, it isn't

That's a shame. It looked like a game changer for Python Tkinter app icons.

I'll take a look at it. I just ran into the same thing yesterday. It's related to the new build isolation feature in Python. See https://github.com/scikit-build/scikit-build/issues/999 for more details.

I'll make an update to the project.toml to address this.

Thanks, much appreciated!

I replaced the setup.py and requirements.txt files with a new pyproject.toml file.

It worked for me on python 3.12. Would you mind trying it again?

I have been trying to install via PyPi, but there is no new entry showing? The latest version (0.2), fails using Python 3.12, with:

If you would like it testing some other way, please provide instructions.

My changes aren't in pypi. So far it's just a pull request that @israel-dryer can merge into the main repository if he wants to.

Unless the PR gets accepted and new version is published to pypi, you're going to have to clone the my fork of the git repository and install it from there.

I'll try to take a look this next weekend. Have you considered createing a new repo for this? I am guessing @israel-dryer isn't coming back, unless you know different?

Regretfully, I just don't have the capacity to maintain or review these projects anymore. However, I would be more than happy to transfer ownership or add an admin if you are interested in maintaining the project going forward.

[avalon60]

Is there a way to get the branch produced by @jshipley ?

Merge this please! @israel-dryer
