I believe lightning requests created before https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/7730
can have an amount of None - ones created after have amount 0 instead.
We could do a wallet db upgrade potentially.
Regardless, the type hint is `get_amount_sat(self) -> Union[int, str, None]`,
so None should be handled. (well, arguably "!" should be handled too...)

/home/user/wspace/electrum/electrum/gui/qt/locktimeedit.py:145: DeprecationWarning: an integer is required (got type Alignment). Implicit conversion to integers using __int__ is deprecated, and may be removed in a future version of Python.

InvoiceList.update() calls hide_if_empty(), which calls setVisible().
setVisible(True) should not be called before the widget is properly parented and put into a layout,
as that results in a blank window flashing up (appearing and disappearing) briefly.
distutils (a module in the python standard library that we use) got deprecated in python 3.10,
and is planned to be removed from the stdlib in python 3.12.
see 9d38120e33/Lib/distutils/__init__.py (L16)
We only use it in the Qt update_checker (for signed version notifications), to compare version numbers.
That is, we only use a very small part of it (only `distutils.version.StrictVersion`).
```
.../electrum/electrum/gui/qt/update_checker.py:7: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives
from distutils.version import StrictVersion
```
Migration advice in PEP-632 suggests ( https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/#migration-advice ):
> `distutils.version` — use the `packaging` package
Note that `packaging` is a 3rd party package, i.e. it would be a new dependency.
Also, it does not provide an identical replacement for `distutils.version.StrictVersion`.
Care needs to be taken when changing the semantics of version numbers...
E.g. `packaging.parse` and `packaging.Version` are less strict than what we currently use.
We have to be careful that old code recognises new electrum version numbers as both valid
and numerically greater than their version.
I think the easiest approach is for us to vendor this small part of distutils.
Re directory structure, this is based on `pip`:
bab5bfce50/src/pip/_vendor
(although the approach here is much more naive ofc)
- show payment options in tabs: URI, Address or Lightning
- use vertical tabs to save space
- switch between QR and text views
- open standalone QR window through menu, instead of clicking on QR code
If I use apt on ubuntu to install python3-pyqt5 and then remove it, it leaves an empty namespace:
```
$ python3

[GCC 9.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
