Yes Jacob, please provide us your environment configuration. I'm
entering to a couple of really busy moths (last part of writing my
thesis), but I can try to test your setup in miniconda and give feedback.
Cheers,
Offray

I have Leo running in a Miniconda environment. It's not on Windows,
but I could provide my environment configuration if it would be
helpful. From that, it is one command to create a working environment
with the conda command line tool.
Regards,
Jacob.

Hi,
I think that Anaconda is maybe too much, but I would advice to
checkout miniconda, which is basically just the installer and the
python interpreter and serves the same purpose, without including
a scientific python distribution with jupyter, to install Leo. My
advice is to create a Leo installer/updater using miniconda as a
base. Same installation recipes should work on miniconda and anaconda.
Cheers,
Offray

Thanks for that, Edward. I looked at Anaconda a few days ago, but
found it a little overwhelming. Maybe it will be easier than I
think once I get started. I'd like to revert one of my Win10
machines to 32 bit version so I can install pyenchant. Would it
be best to uninstall everything and start over from scratch with
Anaconda? Leo works fine on that machine now (except for no spell
check).

I am trying to set up Leo for a colleague on his Windows
PC and see that it's much more difficult than I recall,
especially for non-programmers. Apparently, PyQt no
longer provides Windows binary installation executables.
Not really knowing what else to try, I opened the Python
command shell and typed `pip3 install PyQt5` and got a
syntax error.
PyQt5 seems to be a moving target. It's possible to screw
up a previously working Qt5 installation, as I demonstrated
several times today.
My suggestion is to start with a Python 3 version of
Anaconda. I also recommend installing 32-bit versions, even
on 64-bit systems. That way you can install
pyenchant.
I have been successful in installing 4.1.1 on both Python 2
and 3. The installers are:
- Anaconda2-4.1.1-Windows-x86.exe and
- Anaconda3-4.1.1-Windows-x86.exe
According to my notes, Anaconda 4.2 was buggy: it does not
handle QTreeWidget properly. This was several months ago.
Perhaps things are better now.
Once you get Anaconda installed and working, you should be
able to use conda install. If you have multiple Anaconda
installations, you will need to use the proper conda script,
in either Anaconda2/scripts or Anaconda3/scripts.
Sorry if the answer is obvious or easy, but for me it's
neither. Any help or suggestions appreciated.
Clearly, installing both python and pyqt (and especially
pyqt5) is made more difficult by qt bugs. But in the long
run, I think using Anaconda is the best bet.
Having said that, Lewis's suggestions might be enough.
Edward
