[PyQt] Problem with Sip for Py3 on Debian/Ubuntu
I'm trying to build PyQt5 for Py3 on Kubuntu Raring. However I got the error that Sip was not found: This is the GPL version of PyQt 5.0 (licensed under the GNU General Public License) for Python 3.3.1 on linux. ... Found the license file pyqt-gpl.sip. Error: Make sure you have a working sip on your PATH or use the --sip argument to explicitly specify a working sip. Then I went and installed the python3-sip-dev package which is supposed to contains the code generator tool and the development headers needed to develop Python 3 bindings with sip (from the package description) but even then I get the same error. Comparing the Python2 Sip package filelist: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/python-sip-dev/filelist with the Python3 Sip package filelist http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/python3-sip-dev/filelist, I note that there is a /usr/bin/sip in the python-sip-dev package but no similar file in the python3-sip-dev package. Is this then a packaging error and should I report it as such? (Even the upstream Debian Sid packages have the same situation.) Or is Sip the same for both Py2 and Py3 in which case I should install python-sip-dev even for Py3? -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

So then it seems to me that the packaging should be changed. Currently the sip4 source package (http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/sip4) produces these binary packages: python-sip: runtime library python-sip-dbg: runtime library (debug extension) python-sip-dev: development files python-sip-doc: documentation python3-sip: runtime library python3-sip-dbg: runtime library (debug extension) python3-sip-dev: development files It would seem that the common code generator should be moved to python-sip-dev-common and python-sip-dev and python3-sip-dev should both depend on it. python-sip-doc should also be moved to python-sip-doc-common. Does that sound about right? If OK, I can file a Debian bug for this. -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

Re: [PyQt] Problem with Sip for Py3 on Debian/Ubuntu
Yes, /usr/bin/sip is in python-sip-dev package. Maybe it will make sense to move it into a separate package, but I don't see much need in that. -- Dmitry Shachnev On 6/25/13, Shriramana Sharma samj...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 9:09 PM, Scott Kitterman deb...@kitterman.com wrote: I'll take a look at it.

Maybe it will make sense to move it into a separate package, but I don't see much need in that. Well somehow I don't feel comfortable having to install a Py2 package to get functionality required for Py3 and apart from whatever Py2 is inbuilt into my Raring installation, I don't use Py2 for my own projects at all. The description of the python3-sip-dev package says that it provides the code generator whereas this is not true currently and that is the problem. There has to be a single package that provides the generator -- (python-sip-bin perhaps?) and both the Py2 and Py3 sip-dev packs should depend on that. Now as I see it these packages provide: 1) the generator binary sip common to all Py versions, 2) the sip.h file for the respective Py versison, 3) the dh_sip? perl script per the Py version. There has to be some meaningful dependency heirarchy here which segregates the Py2 requirements from the Py3 ones or at least merge at some package explicitly labeled -common, just like ipython-notebook and ipython3-notebook both depend on ipython-notebook-common. -- Shriramana Sharma ஶ்ரீரமணஶர்மா श्रीरमणशर्मा ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
