Unable to build from source: Stuck at aw-qt

Describe the bug

I run make build and it works successfully on aw-core, aw-client however it stuck at:

Installing the current project: aw-client (0.5.14)
make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/c/Users/sk_16/Documents/GitHub/activitywatch/aw-client'
Building aw-qt
make[1]: Entering directory '/mnt/c/Users/sk_16/Documents/GitHub/activitywatch/aw-qt'
poetry install
Installing dependencies from lock file

pyproject.toml changed significantly since poetry.lock was last generated. Run `poetry lock [--no-update]` to fix the lock file.
make[1]: *** [Makefile:4: build] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/c/Users/sk_16/Documents/GitHub/activitywatch/aw-qt'
Error in aw-qt build
make: *** [Makefile:48: build] Error 2

I then try to run poetry lock --no-update in aw-qt yet face this issue:

(venv) skyyap@Sky:/mnt/c/Users/sk_16/Documents/GitHub/activitywatch/aw-qt$ poetry lock --no-update
Resolving dependencies... (1.5s)

The current project's supported Python range (>=3.8,<4.0) is not compatible with some of the required packages Python requirement:
  - pyinstaller requires Python <3.13,>=3.8, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.13,<4.0
  - pyinstaller requires Python <3.14,>=3.8, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.14,<4.0
  - pyinstaller requires Python <3.13,>=3.8, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.13,<4.0
  - pyinstaller requires Python <3.13,>=3.8, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.13,<4.0
  - pyinstaller requires Python <3.13,>=3.8, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.13,<4.0
  - pyinstaller requires Python <3.14,>=3.8, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.14,<4.0
  - pyinstaller requires Python <3.14,>=3.8, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.14,<4.0

Because no versions of pyinstaller match >6.6,<6.7.0 || >6.7.0,<6.8.0 || >6.8.0,<6.9.0 || >6.9.0,<6.10.0 || >6.10.0,<6.11.0 || >6.11.0,<6.11.1 || >6.11.1
 and pyinstaller (6.7.0) requires Python <3.13,>=3.8, pyinstaller is forbidden.
And because pyinstaller (6.8.0) requires Python <3.13,>=3.8, pyinstaller is forbidden.
And because pyinstaller (6.9.0) requires Python <3.13,>=3.8
 and pyinstaller (6.10.0) requires Python <3.14,>=3.8, pyinstaller is forbidden.
And because pyinstaller (6.11.0) requires Python <3.14,>=3.8
 and pyinstaller (6.11.1) requires Python <3.14,>=3.8, pyinstaller is forbidden.
So, because pyinstaller (6.6.0) requires Python <3.13,>=3.8
 and aw-qt depends on pyinstaller (>=6.6), version solving failed.

  • Check your dependencies Python requirement: The Python requirement can be specified via the `python` or `markers` properties

    For pyinstaller, a possible solution would be to set the `python` property to ">=3.8,<3.13"
    For pyinstaller, a possible solution would be to set the `python` property to ">=3.8,<3.14"
    For pyinstaller, a possible solution would be to set the `python` property to ">=3.8,<3.13"

This bug was happened due to this latest commit. Just add the ,<3.13" back and it works.

[Game4Move78]

I use Fedora 41 and I got this bug until I used

python3.9 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install poetry
poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
cd aw-qt
vi pyproject.toml # add ,<3.1

Don't quite understand, as you say it works fine with the latest version of Python.
