Cheers. I have done this before but not often, and I do tend to shy away from it if I can find an excuse :-D
I will give it a go though.

Still keen to understand how that dist can just vanish on me after it worked. I checked the parent folder's modified date online (the one that holds all the dists), and supposedly it hasn't been modified in 50 days or so. A mystery...


Thanks everybody for your input, it's very much appreciated!

In case it can give you some confidence, I can say that building from source is easy. I've done that a few times and it's just a matter of reading the explanations, running 2 or 3 scripts and waiting half an hour for the build to complete. The scripts even take care of the dependencies if i remember well.
never had a  problem

    Hey Frank,
    If the ppa doesn't exist, you could try to compile it yourself or
    by manually downloading it or by installing from PyPi with:
    sudo pip install PySide
    There are a few dependencies you need to have installed like
    CMake, but the build will let you know what does it need.


Detailed instructions how to build on linux are here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PySide#building-pyside-on-a-unix-system-ubuntu-12-04-lts

    I just had to build it myself too as for OS X there are no 1.2.1
    binaries available.
    In my case the only problem I had with it is that the Ui tools
    didn't build, but since I'm not really using it that's not that
    big of a problem for me, although they can be compiled by fixing
    the cmake files.
    Cheers,
    Tibold Kandrai

    Thanks for the heads up Sebastian.
    That is probably a good way to go, as I need to add os specific
    logic as well (I am in a mixed linux and osx environment).

    For now, I'm just trying to get the vanilla install to work again
    though.
    And then get my head back into PySide which I was forced to
    neglect for almost a year.

    Hope all is well in Berlin!

    Cheers,
    frank

        Hey Frank,

        I don't know about the linux part but you can keep PySide on
        a central server, just don't add that path to you PYTHONPATH
        by default. Nuke does not need to know about it, but in a
        standalone app you could just do something like:

        import sys
        sys.path.add("/server/pyside")

        and that one works again.

        The strategy I am going for here is: All standalone apps use
        the standard (Windows) Python and standard installers for
        packages.
        We have a lot of compiled dependencies  like PyQt, ZeroMQ or
        MySQL in Maya/Nuke/Houdini. The path.add method is the way I
        manage those to dynamically "mount" (i.e. path.add) all the
        packages I need per host program (with their own compiler
        version, because thats where the problem comes from)

        Cheers

        Sebastian

            Hi guys,

            this may be a linux problem more than a PySide problem,
            but after a day of searching for a solution I am a bit
            desperate and was hoping somebody here would be able to
            help:

            A few days ago I installed PySide on Kubuntu 12.10
            without any trouble by running those commands:

            sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pyside
            sudo apt-get update
            sudo apt-get install python-pyside


            This successfully installed PySide to
            /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PySide

            I then decided to move the installed PySide folder to a
            central server location which is in my PYTHONPATH to be
            able to access the same PySide install from multiple
            machine (to avoid version problems etc).

            After that some host applications that are using PySide
            natively wouldn't launch any longer (PySide itself worked
            fine), so I decided to back paddle; I deleted all files
            on the server again and ran this to clean up:

            sudo apt - get purge python-pyside
            sudo apt - get autoremove


            Now I thought I'd be ready for a clean install again, so
            I started over with the above mentioned install commands.
            First, this only installed the binaries (.so files) into
            /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PySide, no __init__.py,
            nothing else.
            So I tried un-installing and re-installing a few times,
            but now nothing gets installed at all anymore.

            When running sudo apt - get update, I now get these errors:

/Err http://ppa.launchpad.net quantal/main Sources 404 Not Found/ /
                / /Hit http://security.ubuntu.com
                quantal-security/restricted i386 Packages/ /
                / /Err http://ppa.launchpad.net quantal/main amd64

http://ppa.launchpad.net/pyside/ppa/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages
404 Not Found/


            I checked in a web browser, and sure enough, the
            "quantal" dist does not exist:
            http://ppa.launchpad.net/pyside/ppa/ubuntu/dists/

            It feels like it was simply removed the other day since I
            was able to install PySide successfully but it's more
            likely that I'm stuffing up something here.

            Can somebody please help with this? I am stuck and need
            to get this running soon :(

            Cheers,
            frank
