Hello,
I'm getting an error when I attempt to run the Charts qmlscene plugin
example on the latest PyQt and sip snapshots installed inside a virtualenv
(Python 3.4).
Running:
QML2_IMPORT_PATH="." qmlscene -I . app.qml
gives the following error:
ImportError: PyCapsule_Import could not import module "sip"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../Charts/chartsplugin.py", line 41, in <module>
from PyQt5.QtQml import qmlRegisterType, QQmlExtensionPlugin
ImportError: ...virtualenv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/PyQt5/QtQml.so:
undefined symbol: PyBool_Type
.../app.qml:42 module "Charts" is not installed
Just running:
qmlscene -I . app.qml
gives the following:
ImportError: PyCapsule_Import could not import module "sip"
.../app.qml:42 module "Charts" is not installed
I suspect this PyCapsule_Import part tries to operate outside of virtualenv,
maybe using wrong interpreter or looking up something in wrong place.
Any ideas/hints?
P.S.: The qmlscene plugin was installed successfully, I've managed to get
the output of configure.py to say
"Re-writing .../chapter6-plugins/Charts/qmldir/..."
by linking /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu to virtualenv/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
(initially I was getting "The qmlscene plugin was disabled because the Python
library couldn't be found.").
The sip and PyQt configure steps were done using the following arguments,
correspondingly:
python configure.py --debug -e virtualenv/include
python configure.py --debug --sip-incdir virtualenv/include
