Yes. Also see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22391 and
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2011-January/thread.html
thanks for the links
i assume the thread from the pyqt mailing-list is this one:
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2011-January/029094.html
that mainly discusses various sip issues, but i cannot see any
discussion about compatibility regarding pyuic, pyrcc, etc
for clarity, i have now asked a more specific question here:
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2011-May/029791.html
the maintainer of pyqt has now confirmed that pyuic is compatible
between python 2 and 3.
nevertheless, i still think it is an ugly solution to have python3 as a
dependency of a python2 package. many users will have removed python3
from their systems, as there are currently relatively few other packages
that depend on it.
