Does this work for windows?

I just noticed this, I see your enhancements over the original. Does this work in windows too?
Yea for now it should work (I haven't tested it though). The only mac specific portion I'm planning to add is notifications support (which will use the native osx api). The rest is done using Qt web engine so it should be cross platform.
I'm not too sure how you would go about installing Qt on windows though — especially since you need a fork which has support for qtwebengine (which was deprecated in Qt5).
Have you added always on top window?
Yup, that is added.
Ok, that is awesome, I'm going to try it.
Wait, are you saying I should install Qt4 or Qt5?
You need Qt 5 built with webengine support, along with the pyqt bindings
Ok, I'm trying to install now, but accidentally downloaded a new version of appdirs. Thanks!
Yea, since I don't have a version with webengine support, when running qhangups, nothing happens and the application terminates without error.
Yeah I'm not sure how you go about getting it on Windows. On OSX Homebrew has an option to build from source with Webengine, and on Linux package repos have the appropriate variant.
Hmm, is __init__.py supposed to be empty?
Yeah it's not used.
If all you're going after is the old hangouts UI, you might also try https://github.com/dhleong/hangr
Which uses electron and should be readily cross platform without mucking around in dependencies.
Wow, thanks a lot for sharing that. Didn't know that was a thing. Going to try it!
