Migrate the qt-designer-python sample text editor from PyQt5 to PyQt6 to match the refreshed tutorial: - Regenerate main_window_ui.py with pyuic6 (PyQt6 6.11.0) - Update app.py imports to PyQt6 (QtWidgets and uic) - Update README install instructions to PyQt6 Verified: the app builds its GUI (setupUi) and loads find_replace.ui via uic.loadUi() under PyQt6 on Python 3.14.

Summary
Migrates the
qt-designer-pythonsample text editor from PyQt5 to PyQt6, to pair with the in-progress light update of the Qt Designer and Python tutorial (Trello: Light Update cardRIngq9rw).Changes
sample_editor/main_window_ui.py— regenerated withpyuic6(PyQt6 6.11.0). This automatically applies the PyQt6 API changes:QActionis now imported fromQtGui, and enums are fully scoped (for example,Qt.ToolBarArea.TopToolBarArea).sample_editor/app.py— imports updated fromPyQt5toPyQt6(the only change needed;.exec()was already in use).README.md— install instructions updated to PyQt6.The
.uifiles are unchanged, since they're binding-agnostic.Verification
Built and ran headless on Python 3.14 with PyQt6 6.11.0:
setupUi()constructs the main window (all 10 actions present)uic.loadUi("ui/find_replace.ui", ...)loads the dialogNote
This should merge alongside publication of the updated tutorial. The article clone (CMS post #2238) is still pending its screenshot refresh and final QA.
