Many plugins do use shared libraries, but the same python code can run on multiple platforms using the platform PyQT5. This depends on plugin authors following the recommendation to make plugins work for both Python2 and Python3. Calibre is written in Python and relies on platform-specific Python libraries (PyQt5), so the Windows and MacOS *builds *now use QEMU (previously they used VirtualBox) to run a linux build system: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/blob/master/bypy/README.rst May 30th. > Cheers, > Cameron Simpson <c...@cskk.id.au> > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org > -- George N.
