PySide2/Shiboken2 support for python 3.11?

[dgillingham]

Are the PySide2/Shiboken2 python modules compatible with python 3.11 on Linux?

I support Python applications that utilize these modules on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 with python 3.9. Due to support EOL dates, we're upgrading to python 3.11.

Looking at PyPi (https://pypi.org/project/PySide2/ and https://pypi.org/project/shiboken2/), I see wheels for python 3.5 up to and including 3.10. Can I use that wheel without issue on python 3.11? Or do I need to build I my own versions of these modules?

I don't think upgrading to QT6 + PySide6/Shiboken6 is an option for us, since I don't believe there are RHEL8 packages for QT6.

Inital support for Python 3.11 has been in added in 5.15.11 (commercial LTS), with some improvements in later releases.

Thank you for this information.

Any idea when 5.15.11 will be released? I don't see it on the official download site.

Also any indication when official wheels might get pushed to pypi?

5.15.11 was released in November 2022 and is available as a commercial LTS (see https://www.qt.io/pricing ).

Is the only way to get this release? Will it ever be provided for download on https://download.qt.io/official_releases/QtForPython/ or be made available through the project's git repository?

Is there supporting documentation that explains this that I can provide to my bosses?
