Description Kurt Garloff 2005-11-23 00:01:47 UTC

Little GUI applications that use the Qt bindings of python used to require
python, qt and PyQt. These days, the PyQt bindings are part of kdebindings-python which require kdelibs which require a lot of libraries.

Not a desirable solution. On your GNOME desktop, you may want to limit the amount of installed KDE packages and still run the hp-toolbox from hplip.
On a virtual machine, you may want to have a simple GUI (which I would recommend to do with PyQt) without a full-blown KDE desktop.

Please split off the PyQt part again.

done

Comment 2 Johannes Meixner 2005-11-25 08:37:32 UTC

In kdebindings3-python.spec there is now
---------------------------------------------------------------------
%files -n python-qt
%defattr(-,root,root)
%dir /opt/kde3/share/sip
/opt/kde3/share/sip/qt*
/usr/%_lib/python%{py_ver}/site-packages/pyqtconfig.py
/usr/%_lib/python%{py_ver}/site-packages/qt*
---------------------------------------------------------------------

But as fas as I know at least
/usr/%_lib/python%{py_ver}/site-packages/sip.so
/usr/%_lib/python%{py_ver}/site-packages/sipconfig.py
are also needed.

Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2005-11-25 09:09:45 UTC

do you have a way to test it?

Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2005-11-25 09:13:33 UTC

awaiting /work/built/mbuild/portia-coolo-6/ :)

Comment 5 Johannes Meixner 2005-11-25 09:20:52 UTC

I test whether /usr/bin/hp-toolbox still works.
When I call it from a terminal window without sip.so I get:
---------------------------------------------------------------
jsmeix@nelson:~> hp-toolbox
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hp-toolbox", line 41, in ?
    import base.async_qt as async
  File "/usr/share/hplip/base/async_qt.py", line 85, in ?
    from qt import *
ImportError: No module named sip
---------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/bin/hp-toolbox does not need sipconfig.py to run
but I think when pyqtconfig.py is included it makes sense
to have sipconfig.py also included.

Kurt Garloff wrote in a mail to me:
------------------------------------------------------------------
My own PyQt apps work with only sip.so, pyqtconfig.py and qt*.so.
------------------------------------------------------------------
but I don't know what Kurt's own PyQt apps are.

Comment 6 Kurt Garloff 2005-12-20 16:12:09 UTC

I also vote for including sipconfig.py and sip*.so.
The latter is needed for my PyQt app as well.

Comment 7 Stephan Kulow 2005-12-20 18:17:24 UTC

did you test the new version at all?

Comment 8 Kurt Garloff 2005-12-20 23:21:27 UTC

Man, it's d*mn difficult to get an X export working from a chroot.
Next time, I'll create a virtual machine ...

I tested: The python-qt package does now contain everything that's needed
AFAICS.

Thanks!
