I usually try to avoid Qt apps, but I needed a way to preview markdown
text. One option was pandoc, but it needed to install 100+ packages
as dependancies. Another option was retext, which only required a few
new packages.
So I installed retext. The install seemed to go fine, but it doesn't run:
$ retext
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/ReText/__init__.py", line 16, in
<module>
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtPrintSupport, QtGui, QtWidgets, QtWebKit,
QtWebKitWidgets
ImportError: cannot import name 'QtPrintSupport'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.4/retext", line 23, in <module>
from ReText import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtWebKit, datadirs, globalSettings
File "/usr/lib64/python3.4/site-packages/ReText/__init__.py", line 19, in
<module>
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWebKit
RuntimeError: the PyQt4.QtCore and PyQt5.QtCore modules both wrap the
QObject class
Two questions:
1) If retext requires Qt with printing support, shouldn't that be a
package dependency? [Does retext require Qt printing support?]
2) What is the "RuntimeError:" trying to say? Aren't PyQt4 and PyQt5
independent from each other? Who cares if they both wrap the same
QOobject class (in fact, I would have guessed that the both do a
_lot_ of things). [Perhaps this is more of a Python question than
a Gentoo question?]
