Cannot start the xicam successfully on Win11

[axingxing]

My environment is Win 11 and I'm using the py3.8 in anaconda
I followed the document and then downgraded intake=0.5.5, databroker=1.0.2, pyYAML=5.4.1 and installed tiled, httpx, doct
but when I "python run_xicam.py"，it reports the error

Please share the following to help me investigate your issue:

1. A pip list or conda list of your environment
2. What source are you installing Xi-cam from (pypi, github source, conda-forge)?
3. What directions are you following?
4. Do you have an external requirement to use a conda environment, or could you use a standard python 'venv'?

Also, please reach out to me by email. I'd like to know a bit about how/where you plan to use Xi-cam so I can better support you even after this issue is resolved.

This issue appears to result from recent changes in the qtpy package. This is a dependency used to abstract versions of Qt bindings.

For now, you can rollback to an earlier version of qtpy that still works as follows:

pip install "qtpy<2.4"

I will also be working on a solution to address this during standard installation.

Edit:
I've opened an issue on qtpy: spyder-ide/qtpy#472
I've also pushed a fix that pins the qtpy version to <2.4 (7f756ae). I'll try to get this published to PyPI soon.

Thank you for your reply. I downgraded qtpy=2.3 and qtconsole=5.3.
And then I started the xicam.
Here is my pip list. Hope it helps.
