Broken dependency for python 3.12

[jorgenengelsen]

Describe the bug

New release of pyside6 breaks dependencies. To fix it I locked pyside6 to 6.6.0

To Reproduce

When installing latest QATS on python 3.12:

I get the following error:

Hi, thanks for reporting.

I presume this was produced with poetry install? If so, on which branch?

I am not able to reproduce this behavior with python 3.12, neither with pip install qats nor with poetry install (using master branch, which corresponds to the latest release).

We discovered this bug across two machines here, testing with both 3.9 and 3.12. Seems like pip install qats in a clean venv works fine but using qats as a dependency in a minimal poetry example:

[project]
name = "testqats"
version = "0.1.0"
description = ""
authors = []
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.10,<3.13"



[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core>=2.0.0,<3.0.0"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

then running

poetry add qats

Reproduces the error message:

When i try to pip install shiboken6, pip only finds shiboken 6.8.1. Not 6.8.8.1 as required.

Seems like windows wheels are missing from shiboken 6.8.8.1, as this is the only one distributed:

• shiboken6-6.8.1.1-cp39-abi3-macosx_12_0_universal2.whl

As far as I understand, this is caused by qats version 5.2.1 (=master branch) requiring pyside6 = "^6.6.0". According to https://python-poetry.org/docs/dependency-specification, this translates to pyside6 = ">=6.6.0,<7.0.0". When trying to install pyside6 version 6.8.x, it runs into the dependency issue that you have discovered. It beats me why poetry install on master branch in a clean environment doesn't reproduce it locally on my Windows PC.

On the good side; rerunning the tests for python 3.12 on PR #133, poetry install now fails for the same reason (it did not fail in December). See https://github.com/dnvgl/qats/actions/runs/12231614951/job/35295121808?pr=133. Hence, it is expected that issue may be closed upon the next qats release (after merging PR #133).

Update: shiboken6 version 6.6.x doesn't seem to work well with numpy version 2.x. Allowing for pyside6 version 6.8 is therefore desirable. The following dependency, which avoids version 6.8.1.1 of pyside6 and shiboken6, seems to work well:
pyside6 = [ {version = ">=6.6.0,<=6.8.1", python = "<3.13"}, {version = "6.8.1", python = ">=3.13"} ]

A looser dependency, allowing for >=6.8.1, may be specified when this issue has been fixed on the pyside/shiboken side.

Thanks for following up. Locking the dependency to 6.8.1 on our side is a ok workaround for now.
