QtPy: Abstraction layer for PyQt5, PySide2, PyQt6, and PySide6

[Juraj Oravec]

Hello Schimon,

This looks like something which would help with python addons, but at 
the same time plugin API for many things in Falkon is not defined and 
plugins (C++ and Python) can touch internal stuff which may change 
between different versions.

The QML plugins are a bit better since they do have "stable" API but his 
API is very limited.

Thank you for providing the link, but I will wait for the code or 
documentation on how to use this within Falkon.

Best regards,
Juraj

PS: Sorry for top posting.
