Dear Maintainer,

According to apt-file, QtWebKit module should be in this package:

# apt-file search PyQt4 |grep WebKit
(...)
python3-pyqt4: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt4/QtWebKit.cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
(...)

but in fact there's not:

# dpkg -L python3-pyqt4

This bug makes Spyder3 unisable, as it cannot start without QtWebkit module

It was removed intentionally because QtWebKit 4.x is dead upstream and
has lots of unfixed security vulnerabilities.

This was announced in May 2015 on debian-devel-announce [1].

For Spyder, please refer to #784613 or #826042.

This is not a bug.  QtWebkit for Qt4 is in the process of being removed from Debian as it is not supportable for the next release.  As a result, QtWebKit support has been intentionally dropped from PyQt4.  QtWebkit for Qt5 continues to be supported.  PyQt5 does provide the module to support it.

Packages needing QtWebKit support in Debian need to be ported to Qt5.
