Public bug reported: It is impossible to use VTK and PyQt together as of Ubuntu 17.04.
python-vtk6 includes bindings for Qt4, even if they are deprecated. Qt5 bindings should be included instead (Debian already switched, according to their source repository). Since the Qt4 bindings are deprecated, there is a known issue: even a minimal PyQt4 example segfaults just by adding the import of vtk.qt4.QVTKRenderWindowInteractor (modified source attached). This is most likely not going to be fixed (see https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/issues/16009). Please note that in that issue is reported that using python-vtk (which uses VTK 5.10) the problem does not appear. However, that package is no longer present in Zesty. So as of today, it is impossible to use VTK together with PyQt in Zesty. Please update the bindings to use Qt5. ** Affects: vtk6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: zesty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722197 Title: Segfault when using python-vtk6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vtk6/+bug/1722197/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
