Hi, Matthias, awesome amount of effort you and Jürgen have done here. Thank you very much.
I have started in on a complete rewrite of the CMake bundling for Mac (leveraging BundleUtilities) that can utilize a Homebrew backend of dependencies and generate a completely bundled app directly from a Homebrew formula. When would be a good timeframe to start releasing a Mac Qt5/Py3 nightly? Also, what would be the best nightly configurations for Mac to offer? Qt4/Py2, of course, but what other combinations make sense, i.e. Qt?/Py?, for testing? Or, should we focus only on offering two: Qt4/Py2, Qt5/Py3? More below...

Do you mean "February 2017" and "Q3 2017" here?
