Summary by Sourcery

Adopt Pixi for Conda-forge-based dependency management and CI testing in place of tox-conda.

Enhancements:

  • Replace the conda-based tox test setup with Pixi-managed Conda-forge environments covering supported Python and Qt backend combinations.
  • Add centralized Pixi workspace configuration for package metadata, dependency features, test environments, and test execution.
  • Use a dedicated headless Qt display setup in CI before running the selected Pixi test environment.

Build:

  • Remove the generated environment-file tooling and obsolete Conda environment configuration.

CI:

  • Update the test workflow to provision the Pixi Python 3.13/PySide6 environment and run its test task directly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Added standardized project and testing environment configuration.
    • Added support for Python 3.11–3.14 with PyQt6 and PySide6 testing options.
    • Updated continuous integration to run PySide6 tests in a headless display.
    • Replaced legacy Conda-based environment generation and testing workflows.
    • Updated source distribution configuration to exclude development-only environment files.

Reviewer's Guide

Migrates conda-forge CI testing from Miniconda plus tox-conda to Pixi, with centralized workspace/environment definitions for Python and Qt backend combinations, direct pytest execution, and an explicit headless Qt display setup.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Replace the conda/tox-conda CI setup with a Pixi-managed conda-forge environment and direct test invocation.
  • Set up the named Pixi environment for Python 3.13 and PySide6.
  • Replace Miniconda, solver configuration, generated environment, tox patching, and tox execution with pixi run.
  • Install a Qt-enabled headless display for GUI tests.
.github/workflows/tests.yml
build_utils/create_environment_yml.sh
build_utils/pyproject_toml_to_yaml.py
tox.ini
Add Pixi workspace configuration covering supported Python versions, Qt backends, test dependencies, and package extras.
  • Define conda-forge platforms and Pixi package build metadata.
  • Declare Python 3.11–3.14, PyQt6/PySide6, and shared test features.
  • Create test environments for each Python/backend combination and a pytest task.
  • Map package extras explicitly to Qt dependencies until Pixi supports automatic mapping.
pixi.toml
Update repository ignore rules for Pixi-generated files.
  • Ignore Pixi local/environment artifacts.

GitHub Actions step uses a mutable tag or branch reference. Tags and branch names can be silently repointed by the action owner, enabling supply-chain attacks — as seen in the trivy-action and kics-github-action compromises. Pin the reference to a full 40-character commit SHA instead, e.g. uses: actions/checkout@8ade135a41bc03ea155e62e844d188df1ea18608.

Please address the comments from this code review:

## Individual Comments

### Comment 1
<location path=".github/workflows/tests.yml" line_range="217" />
<code_context>
-          channels: conda-forge
-          channel-priority: strict
-          python-version: "3.12"
+          environments: "test-py313-pyside6"

-      - uses: tlambert03/setup-qt-libs@v1
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** The workflow prepares the `test-py313-pyside6` environment but invokes the nonexistent `py313-pyside6-conda` environment, so `pixi run` fails before the test task starts.

**Suggested fix:** Invoke `pixi run -e test-py313-pyside6 test` or rename the configured environment to match the command.

```suggestion
        run: pixi run -e test-py313-pyside6 test
```
</issue_to_address>

### Comment 2
<location path="pixi.toml" line_range="62" />
<code_context>
+[environments]
+default = { features = ["py312", "pyside6", "test"] }
+
+# Standard python x backend (pyqt5 across all Pythons for the comprehensive base)
+test-py311-pyqt6 = ["py311", "pyqt6", "test"]
+test-py312-pyqt6 = ["py312", "pyqt6", "test"]
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**nitpick:** The comment says these are PyQt5 environments, but every environment in the block uses the `pyqt6` feature; the comment therefore gives maintainers incorrect guidance about which backend is being tested.

**Suggested fix:** Update the comment to say PyQt6.

```suggestion
# Standard python x backend (pyqt6 across all Pythons for the comprehensive base)
```
</issue_to_address>

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project replaces the conda-based test setup with Pixi. It adds Python and Qt test environments, updates CI to run Pixi tests with a headless display, and removes obsolete conda test configuration and environment-generation scripts.

Changes

Pixi test environment migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pixi workspace and test matrix
pixi.toml, MANIFEST.in
Defines package metadata, Python 3.11–3.14 environments, PyQt6 and PySide6 extras, test dependencies, and the pytest task. Excludes pixi.toml from the source distribution.
Pixi-based CI execution
.github/workflows/tests.yml, .gitignore
Uses pinned Pixi actions, runs the test-py313-pyside6 environment, configures headless Qt support, downloads test data, and ignores pixi.lock.
Legacy conda test cleanup
tox.ini, build_utils/create_environment_yml.sh, build_utils/pyproject_toml_to_yaml.py
Removes the dedicated PySide2 conda tox environment and deletes the obsolete environment-generation scripts.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1a477

The PR’s updated CI configuration selects an environment that is not declared by the new manifest, preventing the test task from running, while the missing committed lockfile makes dependency resolution non-reproducible. Merge should wait until these CI configuration issues are corrected.

Track pixi.lock for reproducible CI.

.gitignore excludes pixi.lock, so checkout does not provide it. The pinned setup-pixi action defaults locked to false when no lockfile is present. Commit pixi.lock, remove the ignore rule, and set locked: true.
