[Tutor] QT5 pyqt5 for python 2.7

2017-11-18 Thread adam ghering
Hello,


I am trying to get up to speed on python; expand my skills etc.


I work in a VFX environment where most all the tools continue to run with 
python 2.7XX


I have seen that pyqt5 supports python 2.7 according to its documentation but 
it needs to be rebuilt to function.


I have done some homework on the subject and tried to download, tweak and 
install some things but nothing works.


Can someone point me in the right direction?


Also I see QT5 mentioned in addition to pyqt5 or like pyqt5 is just a binding 
of QT5 to python? can someone explain.


ideally i just need the holes filled in as I have searched and searched and 
there seems to be no clear path to getting this working even though people are 
using it and have rebuilt it already.


appreciate any help up front


Best,

Thats unusual, usually you can find a binary by somebody.
But provided you have the dev tools building from source shoulkd not be 
too difficult.

Define "othing works"
Can you download it?
What tweaks? What happened?
What kind of install, how did you do it?
What errors did you get?

We need specifics.

Thats correct. QT5 is the actual C/C++ UI Library and pyqt5
is a Python binding to that. (Similaar to the forked "side" project
which you might also explore since they might have a binary
ready built)

and searched and there seems to be no clear path


There are side and pyqt support forums, your best
bet for detailed help is to ask there.

Best,



Just search for "pyqt5 python 2.7 your-os" without the quotes, there's 
loads of hits for linux and its variants, mac and windows.
