Because Qt 5.13.x / PySide2 5.13.x is NOT compatible with Python 3.8. But instead of asking ourselves, "should we push
in the VERY latest Python and hope it's ok?", we just patch the build system to accept it anyway and hope for the best.
Qt (et all) is a pretty organized upstream, so when asked about Python 3.8 support in 5.13.x, they said, "Nope. Wait for
5.14.x."
BTW this is scholar example of use-case for Modularity.
I disagree: This is a scholar misconception about Modularity.
Modularity doesn't have parallel installability, hence (as Smooge says in this
thread) you have a big problem:
- you either end up in an impossible "choose the stack" situation
- or you need to rebuild every Python package in every Python stream
- that has the maintenance issue
- you have the same problem for PySide in the 3.8 stream as you had before
- or you can workaround Modularity design by packaging each Python stack as a
different module with namespaced PRM packages (and components) -- hence you get
all the usability problems and maintainability problems of Modularity with no
added value
We could have parallel installable multiple Python version stacks w/out
Modularity just fine. The "only little problem" is we hardly have the enough
maintainers to maintain the 3k+ existing Python packages.
