Use the --qmake argument to configure.py or configure-ng.py.

[PyQt] Trying to create SIP

[Tomas Neverdauskas]

Hi,

i'am trying to create python interface to QtAV project

Maybe a semi-colon after the last closing brace. The general approach is
to comment things out until it parses to isolate the line causing the
problem.

[PyQt] moveToThread() does not cope with functools.partial

[Giuseppe Corbelli]

Please see the minimal test code below. In short connecting a signal to a 
functools.partial slot breaks the expected moveToThread behaviour.
Reasonable, I'd say, once you think about it. I'm just asking some suggestion 
about how this issue can be addressed. I thought about reimplementing some 
signal class with a connect_partial method that stores bound args.

Python 2.7.3, Qt 4.8.2, PyQt 4.10 on Linux.


#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import sys
import functools

from PyQt4 import QtCore

class CApp(QtCore.QCoreApplication):
mysignal = QtCore.pyqtSignal()

class CA(QtCore.QObject):
def standard_slot(self):
print "standard_slot", QtCore.QThread.currentThreadId()

def partial_slot(self, param):
print "partial_slot", param, QtCore.QThread.currentThreadId()

app = CApp(sys.argv)
print "CApp", QtCore.QThread.currentThreadId()

thread = QtCore.QThread()

a = CA()
a.moveToThread(thread)
thread.start()
while not thread.isRunning():
pass

app.mysignal.connect(a.standard_slot, QtCore.Qt.QueuedConnection)
app.mysignal.connect(functools.partial(a.partial_slot, "aParam"), 
QtCore.Qt.QueuedConnection)


timer = QtCore.QTimer()
timer.setInterval(1000)
timer.timeout.connect(app.mysignal.emit)
timer.start()

app.exec_()

It's because qmake for Qt5 is less tolerant about creating makefiles for
unsupported modules. It will be fixed in tonight's snapshot.

The SIP location is supplied to configure.py by the sipconfig module. This
isn't used by configure-ng.py and so must be specified explicitly.

But what about the undo information?

With QTextDocument, each document has its own undo
stack (which is what you want for a multi-document editor)
but when I setText() on the QsciScintilla the undo information
is lost.

Is there a way to save the undo stack? The only undo-related
methods I see are undo() and begin- and end- UndoAction()

That looks like you have '.' in your PATH - that is a really bad idea.

I'll change the test for sip to ignore directories.

No, the underlying Scintilla code doesn't support it.

The easiest approach is to build up the .sip file a bit at a time, rather
than trying to write the whole thing at once.

Look at get_receiver() in qpy/QtCore/qpycore_pyqtboundsignal.cpp. It just
strips off the functools.partial wrappers until it gets to the QObject. The
proxy that is created is then moved to the same thread as the QObject.

Re: [PyQt] ANN: PyQt v4.10.1 Released

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello Phil,

please disregard the first part of the message. Doing some more 
investigations showed, that Windwos tricked me. Sorry for the noise.

Meanwhile I found a new issue. Calling e.g. qhelpgenerator as delivered 
with the lates PyQt4 with Qt5 installer gives this error message:

Failed to load platform plugin "minimal". Available platforms are: windows.

In deed, the platforms plugin directory only contains qwindows.dll. How can 
I overcome this issue?

Yet another observation. Entering the following in a Python 3.3 shell gives 
a wrong output.

>>> from PyQt4.QtCore import QLibraryInfo
>>> QLibraryInfo.location(QLibraryInfo.BinariesPath)
'C:/Qt/5.0.2/bin'
>>>

I would have expected something like "C:\Python33\Lib\site-
packages\PyQt4", because that is where the executable reside when 
installed via the installer. How can I overcome this issue?


Regards,
Detlev

Re: [PyQt] how to install Pyqt4 on OS X ?

[James Ross]

> I have downloaded the tar for mac osx ... I am totally new to OSx 
> migrating from Windows OS .. so pls guide... 

Since I just did this, here are the steps that worked for me ... 

Basically, I just accepted the *defaults* for each install

 - Install the latest Xcode from Apple Store... (a few weeks ago it was 4.6.1)  
 
 - Install the latest Python 3.3.1 Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit x86-64/i386 Installer 
from Python.org 
 - Install the latest Qt 5.0.2 for Mac (binary install) from qt-project.org
 - Install latest SIP v4.14.6
 - Install PyQt4 v4.10 -- (read below) You can get it at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/PyQt4/PyQt-4.10/

The only two that need compiling are the SIP & PyQt4 

Unarchive sip-4.14.6.tar.gz into a temp folder and read the instructions in 
doc/html/installation.html
basically I did this:

$ python3 configure.py
$ make
$ install
 
Unarchive PyQt-mac-gpl-4.10.tar.gz into a temp folder and read the instructions 
in doc/html/installation.html
basically I did this:

I added the path to qmake to my path (but you could pass that on the command 
line)

PATH=$PATH\:/Users/jar/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/clang_64/bin 
  
$ python3 configure.py
$ make
$ install

That should do it..  

Refer to the previous thread about 4.10.1, phil said he was going to fix it 
soon but 4.10 worked fine for me.

Re: [PyQt] how to install Pyqt4 on OS X ?

[James Ross]

oops typo on the $ install --- should be $ make install

so for SIP & PyQt4 the general procedure is 

$ python3 configure.py
$ make
$ make install

You'd have to copy it in from the Qt installer.

Sounds like a problem with qt.conf. 32 bit or 64 bit installer?

ahh... Let me clear something up that I was a bit confused about.  

This also applies to the thread I started, "[PyQt] PyQt v4.10.1 install Error 
on Mac OS X" 

Actually PyQt4 v4.10.1 *does* successfully install on the mac if you use the 
'configure.py' (I just did it) and not the new 'configure-ng.py' (which is 
temporarily broke and will be fixed soon as per Phil's statement in previous 
thread!).  

After re-reading the doc's I see the following statements:

"configure.py is the original configuration script that uses the build system 
of SIP v4 (i.e. the sip.sipconfig module)."
"It will be supported for the life of PyQt4."
"configure-ng.py is ... is the basis of PyQt5’s configuration script"

So configure-ng.py is the current migration path towards a PyQt5! and your 
perfectly good to go ahead and use the current PyQt-mac-gpl-4.10.1.tar.gz but 
use the 'configure.py' script! 

I hope that clears it up!

Re: [PyQt] how to install Pyqt4 on OS X ?

[šãñ]

i am using python 2.6 so probably Python2

and is this really required  - Install the latest Qt 5.0.2 for Mac (binary
install) from qt-project.org

if yes i would need Qt4

i am just going to use it to make apps in PyQt4 as of now...

That was a description of building from source. I could be wrong, but to 
compile and install from source, you need the complete Qt SDK w/ the libs ...  

It sounds like you could just use the PyQtX distribution (referenced from the 
riverbank page) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqtx/files/Complete/
