Porting Applications from PySide2 to PySide6
============================================
Module Availability
-------------------
Qt for Python 6.0.0 initially ships with the essential
`Modules <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtmodules.html>`_ and some
add-ons (Qt 3D, Qt Concurrent, Qt Help, Qt OpenGL, Qt Print Support
Qt Quick Widgets, Qt SQL, Qt SVG, Qt UI Tools and Qt XML).
More modules will follow in subsequent releases as they
are added to Qt.
For Qt for Python 6.1, Active Qt, Qt Charts, Qt Data Visualization,
Qt StateMachine and Qt SCXML are planned.
Module-Level Changes
--------------------
* *Qt Quick Controls 1* have been removed.
* ``QStateMachine`` and related classes have been extracted to a new
*QtStateMachine* module.
* ``QXmlReader`` and related classes (*SAX API*) have been removed.
* The content of the *QtOpenGL* module has been replaced. The class
``QGLWidget`` and related classes (``QGLContext``, ``QGLFunctions``,
``QGLShaderProgram``) have been removed. Parts of the *Open GL*
functionality from *QtGui* have been extracted into this module, for example
``QOpenGLBuffer`` and ``QOpenGLShaderProgram``.
There is a new module *QtOpenGLWidgets* which contains the class
``QOpenGLWidget``, a replacement for ``QGLWidget``.
As *Open GL* is phasing out,
`QRhi <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/topics-graphics.html>`_ should be considered
for graphics applications.
Imports
-------
The first thing to do when porting applications is to replace the
import statements:
.. code-block:: python
from PySide2.QtWidgets import QApplication...
from PySide2 import QtCore
needs to be changed to:
.. code-block:: python
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication...
from PySide6 import QtCore
Some classes are in a different module now, for example
``QAction`` and ``QShortcut`` have been moved from ``QtWidgets`` to ``QtGui``.
For *Qt Charts* and *Qt Data Visualization*, the additional namespaces have been
removed. It is now possible to use:
.. code-block:: python
from PySide6.QtCharts import QChartView
directly.
Class/Function Deprecations
---------------------------
Then, the code base needs to be checked for usage of deprecated API and adapted
accordingly. For example:
* The High DPI scaling attributes ``Qt.AA_EnableHighDpiScaling``,
``Qt.AA_DisableHighDpiScaling`` and ``Qt.AA_UseHighDpiPixmaps`` are
deprecated. High DPI is by default enabled in Qt 6 and cannot be turned off.
* ``QDesktopWidget`` has been removed. ``QScreen`` should be used instead,
which can be retrieved using ``QWidget.screen()``,
``QGuiApplication.primaryScreen()`` or ``QGuiApplication.screens()``.
* ``QFontMetrics.width()`` has been renamed to ``horizontalAdvance()``.
* ``QMouseEvent.pos()`` and ``QMouseEvent.globalPos()`` returning a ``QPoint``
as well as ``QMouseEvent.x()`` and ``QMouseEvent.y()`` returning ``int``
are now deprecated. ``QMouseEvent.position()`` and
``QMouseEvent.globalPosition()`` returning a ``QPointF`` should be used
instead.
* ``Qt.MidButton`` has been renamed to ``Qt.MiddleButton``.
* ``QOpenGLVersionFunctionsFactory.get()`` instead of
``QOpenGLContext.versionFunctions()`` should be used to obtain
*Open GL* functions.
* ``QRegExp`` has been replaced by ``QRegularExpression``.
* ``QWidget.mapToGlobal()`` and ``QWidget.mapFromGlobal()`` now also accept
and return ``QPointF``.
* Functions named ``exec_`` (classes ``QCoreApplication``, ``QDialog``,
``QEventLoop``) have been renamed to ``exec`` which became possible
in Python 3.
More information can be found in the
`Porting to Qt 6 <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/portingguide.html>`_ Guide
and the `Qt 6.0 Documentation <https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/index.html>`_ .
