Solved Supported Python version for building 5.15?

[Taytoo]

As per old answers on google 5.15 requires python 2.x, however, 5.15 build documentation doesn't mention that: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-requirements.html

Wanted to confirm if I can use python 3.8 - 3.11 for building Qt from source?

All modules of Qt 5.15 can be built with Python 3, except Qt WebEngine: The version that got released with Qt 5.15 requires Python 2.

But if you need Qt WebEngine, you might also have luck with building a newer version of WebEngine that builds with Python 3 against Qt 5.15...

@kkoehne Please take a look at my question here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/151291/is-python-2-still-a-must-to-build-webengine .

Hmmm... Where can I download a newer version of WebEngine that can build with Python3?

Cheers
