Hi Martin
This is probably a question for you.
There’s been an update to PyQt6 6.8 and it has some fixes that I’d like to try out but for some reason under ubuntu pip only shows 7.1 version.
I’m hoping you might have a contact at Riverbank that you can share or contact to find out when 6.8 release will be available on ubuntu. I’ve tried a bunch of several ways to contact them myself but have not been successful. The maintainer for PyQt6 within pip is Phil Thompson.
Hello @weave,
Look like pyqt6 6.8.* branch is available basically nowhere… not sure is Riverbank issue or just distro package maintainers issue.
python:pyqt6 package versions - Repology
pyqt6 package versions - Repology
But you can easily pickup with PySide6 instead:
pyside6 package versions - Repology
Even if your current project is using PyQt6 I would go and migrate to PySide6 should be quite easy (95% is find and relace action).
PySide6 is release and available in quite steady pace.
Thanks Michal
I will check it out against my existing code. Funny … I was under the impression that PyQt6 was more up to date than PySide6 and PySide was basically a porting platform to allow older versions of PyQt to use the latest without changing code.

Well surprise surprise …
The magic happened yesterday and PyQt6 now shows 6.8 as installable with pip. Now I can test out what things they’ve fixed. First on my list is the Dialog Widget which had me changing my app code because it didn’t work as a normal dialog.
Ok nice to hear, good for you!
Hey Michal_Plichta
The Dialog is still not fixed, still shows both Min / Max buttons regardless of what window flags are set and the Dialog is not modal without a self (main window) passed to it. The only window flag that works under Wayland is the Frameless border.
What widget would you recommend to add to a subclass of a dialog to serve as a background color ?
I’m not sure what is a problem with Dialog widget? Can you paste some code and point what you would like to get? Maybe with some pseudo-code.
Regarding Dialog 's issue itself do you have bug report for it?
And I didn’t get / understand your last question.
