[qutebrowser] PyQt 5.6 issues with qutebrowser

[Florian Bruhin]

Hi,

I updated my PyQt installation to 5.6 today and was greeted with a
completely broken qutebrowser due to some issues on qutebrowsers side
(which were handled stricter by PyQt with 5.6) and a PyQt issue.

These commits fix the issues I'm aware of so far:
https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/commit/37b5f49c8542c04e7aae6ded6e8ab0c6aa5f2010
https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/commit/48b069e89c4b63bfa4c807f2011a7d0c422c4af1 (only needed for Python 3.4 compatibility)
https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/commit/3c8598f691593e5def46576402113c54b630d491

I plan to release v0.6.2 with those fixes later this week, but I'd
like to iron out any remaining issues first.

If you're a distro packager for qutebrowser
-------------------------------------------

If you plan to release PyQt 5.6 before I released v0.6.2, please
backport the commits above. They apply cleanly on top of v0.6.1.

If you're a user and want a stable qutebrowser
----------------------------------------------

Don't update to PyQt 5.6 for now.

If you're a user and want to help test
--------------------------------------

Use the latest qutebrowser from git and update to PyQt 5.6.

Unofficial PKGBUILD to build it if you're on Arch (might take a few
minutes/hours):
https://github.com/The-Compiler/qt-debug-pkgbuild/tree/pyqt56/pyqt5

If you run into any new issues/exceptions, report them using the
built-in crash reporter.

Thank you, and sorry for the trouble!

Florian
