I'm trying to build PyQt5 for Py3 on Kubuntu Raring. However I got the error that Sip was not found:
This is the GPL version of PyQt 5.0 (licensed under the GNU General Public License) for Python 3.3.1 on linux. ... Found the license file pyqt-gpl.sip. Error: Make sure you have a working sip on your PATH or use the --sip argument to explicitly specify a working sip. Then I went and installed the python3-sip-dev package which is supposed to "contains the code generator tool and the development headers needed to develop Python 3 bindings with sip" (from the package description) but even then I get the same error. Comparing the Python2 Sip package filelist: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/python-sip-dev/filelist with the Python3 Sip package filelist http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/python3-sip-dev/filelist, I note that there is a /usr/bin/sip in the python-sip-dev package but no similar file in the python3-sip-dev package. Is this then a packaging error and should I report it as such? (Even the upstream Debian Sid packages have the same situation.) Or is Sip the same for both Py2 and Py3 in which case I should install python-sip-dev even for Py3? -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
