Upstream is aware of this and told me they are working on a port towards
qt5 and also python3. However there is no deadline. It is their
choice. As I recently read there are people using Guix who are
interested in using PyBitmessage.
This package is usable, license fits, I find this block you create a bit
harsh. I can understand it, but does it mean that you are against adding
it at all because of qt4?
