[PyQt] Can't get PyQt5 to work

[Eddy Ilg]

Hi,


I am trying to get PyQt5 to work, but without luck. I have my own class 
named Entity, for which with the help of the current sip version from 
the website I am creating a shared library.

When compling everything (PyQt, SIP, Entity.sip) with python 2.7, I 
succeed to import Entity in python, but performing any method call that 
makes use of QString crashes (other methods work). A backtrace showed 
that the crash is somewhere within "sip.o" (sorry I don't have it any 
more. Functions that return QString also crash.

However, I decided to try with Python 3.4. I recompiled everything and 
now I am getting the following error message:

Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr  8 2014, 22:02:32)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import Entity
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (PyInit_Entity)
 >>>

Checking the symbols of Entity.so gives:
# nm Entity.so  | grep PyInit_Entity
0000000000001e5c t PyInit_Entity
0000000000206850 b _ZZ13PyInit_EntityE11sip_methods
00000000002062c0 d _ZZ13PyInit_EntityE14sip_module_def

The function is clearly there! Why can it not be found by python?

One more thing, importing pyqtconfig as in the SIP tutorial also fails:
 >>> from PyQt5 import pyqtconfig
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'pyqtconfig'

The configure options were:
python configure.py --qmake 
/misc/software-lin/Qt-5.2.1/5.2.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake --sip /home/x/bin/sip 
--sip-incdir /home/x/include --destdir /home/ilge/lib/python3.4/ 
--bindir /home/x/bin --no-designer-plugin --no-qml-plugin 
--assume-shared --pyuic5-interpreter /home/x/bin/python3.4 --no-sip-files

Why is pyqtconfig missing?



Sincerely,
