sorry for dragging this out but i am not budging from this.
i don't buy the excuse for not asking questions... i am not talking about
this list. how about on the site that hosts the plugin?

brace yourself for candidness. i am taking the position
Steve asked for PyQt questions to be posted, so here we go! ;-)
I have Python 2.76 up and running. I have PyQt 4.10.3 up and running.
When I load Softimage, though, I get red triangles on pyqt_example.py and
qtevents.py.
The example one throws an error on import sip - ImportError: No module
It's not finding PyQt (at least those are the errors you would get if PyQt
was not installed). As a quick test, you could set PYTHONPATH to point to
the location of PyQt and then start xsi.exe
What version of Softimage?
You don't mention whether you installed pywin32, but I assume you did
Oh, and you did switch Softimage to use the external Python, right?

Ha! I believe that may be the answer to the problem. I didn't see
anywhere in the docs anything about switching Python from within Softimage
so I assumed the addon dealt with that stuff itself.
I'll give it a look when I've got a break.

Thanks Stephen!
It was indeed something as simple as turning off Softimage's Python.
But, AFAIK, it's not documented in the PyQtForSoftimage installation
instructions. Maybe I can jump on to GitHub and change that myself. (?)
Thanks,
Paul

Hey Paul, I am reposting my response from github here...
PyQtForSoftimage was primarily for developers and it assumes you already
know how to use PyQt and have it installed in a location Softimage can
access. I didn't add this to installation instructions for various
reasons... mostly because it
Totally understand. However, the flip side is, people are developing tools
that use PyQtForSoftimage and releasing them to the public. Once that
started happening it went beyond developers only, so it seemed logical to
include some artist friendly installation notes.

agreed, i will add some info... but shouldn't the person releasing the
complete tool give you installation instructions too?

I can imagine someone emailing me, I can't get your addon working that
uses PyQt, what have I done wrong...
My reply, Can you run the demos provided with PyQtForSoftimage?
Them, No
My reply, Hmm sorry to hear that. Email
hmm, i guess people don't understand what open source, free, and community
means. ;P

I can appreciate that. I wouldn't outright not try to assist where I
could but after a certain point I'd have to toss them your way
obviously. A generic setup documentation would be helpful to assist in
the troubleshooting that we do attempt.

Just changed the topic to merge the threads
Firstly there are a lot of artists out there trying to use these tools that sit
on top of PyQt. Not many manage to get them to work because of the
installation documentation. Personally I think the sweet spot is a compromise
between yours and Erics
