Thanks Andy. We'll have to be careful going forward to test against pyqt5 and 6 following changes to the GUI, but I guess it's worth it to maintain cross platform compatibility. |

I was unable to run pyControl on an M1 mac-mini. There was a lack of support for installing PyQt5 on Apple silicon.
There is support for PyQt6 on Apple silicon, but I needed to make these code changes for pyControl to work.
Here is a link to some information about the differences between PyQt5 and PyQt6: https://www.pythonguis.com/faq/pyqt5-vs-pyqt6/
The changes should be backwards compatible with PyQt5. I tested on my previous computer that only has PyQt5 and everything worked as far as I could tell. All Qt classes are being imported from PyQtGraph, and PyQtGraph takes care of automatically loading PyQt5, PyQt6, PySide2 or PySide6 from your computer.
