Main motivation for this is spyder, which depends on qtwebengine.
Part of #480196

Testing methodology:

  • nixpkgs-review to get rebuild list
  • execute programs to make sure they start, both with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland and QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
  • nix why-depends to ensure no qt5 leaks into qt6 apps
  • Fix whatever was broken

Programs Tested

  • magicgui: dependency to napari, choses QT backend automatically now
  • napari: Works on python 3.12 and 3.13
image
  • python3.14Packages.napari: broken because of napari-npe2, not Qt
  • angr-management: runs
  • inkcut: Updated to qt6, runs
image
  • napari-console: dependency for napari
  • qtawesome: dependency for spyder
  • qtconsole: dependency for spyder
  • superqt: dependency for most of these, choses QT backend automatically now
  • enamix: dependency to inkcut
  • rare: Still runs, but update to Qt6 likely needs an update of the software and i do not have EpicGames to test
  • sasview: already was qt6, runs
  • typstwriter: already was qt6, runs
  • spyder: Does not find kernels unless run with nix-shell -I nixpkgs=. -p "(python3.withPackages (python-pkgs: [python-pkgs.spyder]))", but this issue exists on master already. I do not believe this is a blocker.

I can confirm inkcut also still starts when invoked as an inkscape extension - cool work, thanks!
