[SOLVED] PyQt broken after sip-4.16.9 upgrade

marrowsuck · 08-12-2015, 06:32 AM

Hello,

I just got this RuntimeError in python:

Code:

>>> from PyQt4 import QtCore
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v11.0 to v11.2 but the PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v9.1

I upgraded to PyQt-4.11.4, since PyQt-4.9.6 wouldn't compile.
Working now.

Thanks. I got this issue with Electrum-2.4 and upgrading PyQt to 4.11.4 also fixed it for me.

HPLIP is affected too

Code:

~$ hp-systray -x

Code:

chris@d6:~/src/Designer$ pyuic4 atest.ui >ui_atest.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/pyuic.py", line 31, in <module>
    from PyQt4 import QtCore
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v11.0 to v11.2 but the PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v9.1

Also, if all these API problems with new sip package drive an update to the PyQt package, could the missing designer plugin libpyqt4.so (was named libpythonplugin.so in 14.1) be included please? It just requires a change from:

Code:

make install DESTDIR=$PKG || exit 1

to

Code:

make install DESTDIR=$PKG INSTALL_ROOT=$PKG || exit 1

I understand Eric has included this fix in one of his repos, with no adverse effects that I've heard of since then

matplotlib is also effected. Is there any plan to upgrade the PyQt? A quick walk around I have applied is just downgrading the sip package.

I upgraded to PyQt-4.11.4 using the slackbuild of PyQt-4.9.6 (plus the Phonon patch from Current_64 sources) and seems the plugin is installed

Code:

root@darkstar:/home/elio# find / -name libpyqt4.so
find: `/home/elio/.gvfs': Permission denied
/usr/lib64/qt/plugins/designer/libpyqt4.so
find: `/proc/1618/task/1618/net': Invalid argument
find: `/proc/1618/net': Invalid argument

My english isn't that good, may be you mean something else...
Ciao

However if you make a package, it does not include the libpyqt4.so file. The reason it exists on your system is because when you run 'make install DESTDIR=$PKG', the Makefile in the designer directory does not recognize DESTDIR and installs directly into the build machine, not into the package directory as expected.

Yes, you're right, the plugin is not in the package...I'm going to try with Eric's fix and see what differences I'll find in the package.
Ciao

UPDATE 14/08: alienbob's quick fix proposed by chris works and installs the plugin from the package or in other words the package has the plugin built in...if you prefer
Ciao

Today's -current updates included PyQt-4.11.4 which fixes the API errors I was seeing following the recent sip upgrade. The new PyQt package also contains the previously missing Designer plugin, so thumbs up from me.
