QDesktopServices.setUrlHandler not called on OS X

Dear all,
I am struggling to get the expected call-back from a URL handler registered via QDesktopServices.setUrlHandler on opening the registered URL scheme (test://<path>).
The scheme is registered via the following info.plist entry
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
<string>com.simple</string>
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>test</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
The handler is installed in the PyQt script via
QDesktopServices.setUrlHandler('test', open_desktopservices_url)
with
def open_desktopservices_url(url):
print("open",url)
or
handler = URLHandler()
QDesktopServices.setUrlHandler("test", handler.handleURL)
class URLHandler(QObject):
def handleURL(self, url):
open_desktopservices_url(url)
To open the URL I put the URL "test://me" into Safari or use the terminal with
# open test://me
Opening the URL brings the app to the foreground, but the handler is never called.
I found a way to catch this URL request by catching a FileOpen event and extracting the given URL from the event as follows
class Simple(QApplication):
def __init__(self, args):
super(Simple, self).__init__(args)
def event(self, event):
if event.type() == QEvent.FileOpen:
url = event.url()
if url.isValid():
print("url",event.url())
return super(Simple, self).event(event)
Is this the way it has to be done?
I attached a minimal sample app sample.py together with a setup.py script to build the app with py2app that builds and runs as follows:
# python3 setup.py py2app
# dist/Simple.app/Contents/MacOS/Simple
This is on OS X 10.13.6, Python 3.7.3, PyQt 5.12.13, py2app 0.19
Thanks for any pointer in the right direction,
Marko
