Error: module 'PySide6QtAds' has no attribute 'ads'

Hello, I got this error when running simple main.py and other examples.

PS E:\Qt-Advanced-Docking-System\examples\simple> python .\main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\main.py", line 52, in <module>
    w = MainWindow()
  File ".\main.py", line 26, in __init__
    self.dock_manager = QtAds.CDockManager(self)
AttributeError: Error evaluating `PySide6QtAds.ads.CDockManager.__init__`: module 'PySide6QtAds' has no attribute 'ads'

I came across the previous issues #298 and #494, upgraded PySide6-QtAds to 4.0.1.2, and it doesn't seem to fix the error on my end...

Environment:
OS: Windows Server 2019 Standard
Python Version: 3.8.16
Package Version:

Relevant Information
I also received this error when I installed the latest PySide6, am not sure if this might cause the error... Does it mean I have to downgrade pyside6-essentials & shiboken6?

As shown in your pip error message, PySide6-QtAds 4.0.1.2 requires PySIde6 6.4.3, but you have PySIde6 6.5.0 (and the equivalent versions for Essentials and shiboken) installed.
Yes, if you want to use PySide6-QtAds 4.0.1.2, you need to downgrade to PySIde6 6.4.3 (and when you do, it should also automatically downgrade the Essentials and Shiboken libraries).

PySide6-QtAds needs to be updated to PySide6 6.5.0, hopefully @mborgerson can do that.

Although @mborgerson also replies here, maybe for specific requests related to PySide6, we should do it at https://github.com/mborgerson/pyside6_qtads, this is where PySide6-QtAds is being developed.

Hello, I got this error when running simple main.py and other examples.

Apparently there is an issue when PyQt5 is also installed. Try uninstalling it: pip uninstall PyQt5 PyQt5-sip QyQt5-Qt5 then run the sample again.

PySide6-QtAds needs to be updated to PySide6 6.5.0, hopefully @mborgerson can do that.

Just made a release. PySide6-QtAds v4.0.1.3 should work with PySide6 v6.5.0.

Although @mborgerson also replies here, maybe for specific requests related to PySide6, we should do it at https://github.com/mborgerson/pyside6_qtads, this is where PySide6-QtAds is being developed.

Yeah, please file PySide6-QtAds-specific issues on my pyside6_qtads fork for tracking
