[Pyqt-mac-list] Installing PyQt

[Adrien B. <adr...@gm...>]

Hello,
i just bought my first mac today, and i try to install PyQt, but...
1) I don't know which packages i had to install, and where i can find them.

2) I installed Fink and then the pyqt-py24 package, but my pyqt app
want to connect to a X Server. I'd like to have native MacOSX widgets,
and don't have to run any X Server, is it possible ?

If you could give me urls for wich packages to install, and "what to
do and how" to make pyqt working.. :)
I'm completly new on Macs (i actually run linux), so please explain it
to me (a poor newbie with mac)

Thanks a lot,
Adrien

There might be other ways, but this is how I did it (I hope so at least, has 
been a while):

Install mac-python 2.4 from

http://pythonmac.org/packages/

Download the free mac qt version:

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/

Make sure you use the latest 3.x, otherwise PyQt won't work.

Build and install. Download sip and pyqt, and build it using the python2.4 
from above.

Yeah, one feels somewhat lost... I can also highly recommend iTerm, a terminal 
with better encoding support and _tabs_!

Me neither. Strange, I thought  I got it from there. Well, you should be able 
to go without it, using the stock-python of OS X. I just prefer 2.4.

Yes. You should be able to use fink, but then use the source and build it 
yourself - otherwise, it will be build against the X11-qt. Which is your 
problem in the first place.

So you think pyqt/sip will work with python 2.3 ?

Ok. When i buid it from Fink, it uses X11, but if i use official
package, it will not ? great :)

I don't think so, I know - it is said so in the docs :)

Ok, so I only have to find python2.4 :)
I downloaded python2.4.2 from python.org, I'm going to try with this one

I doubt that will work. As I said before, you can go with python2.3, no deal. 
I personally just prefer python 2.4. And using it "raw" from python.org won't 
help much IMHO, as you need a "Framework build", which is a special form of 
package format for python. But I'm not entirely sure about that - I'm a 
novice with mac os myself :)

I downloaded sip, pyqt and qt.
I can't compile/link qt nor sip :(.
With gcc4, I get compilations errors. With gcc3, theses errors are
reported as warnings and the compilations goes on. But i can't link.
I did as the INSTALL files from qt says...
I also configured qt with : ./configure -no-accessibility -no-ipv6
-no-tablet -fast, and i put /usr/lib:/sw/lib into DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH,
but nothing work better

Here is the message i get when i try to compile sip or qt

Sorry to hear that. I didn't have these problmes. I currently can't 
remember if and how I build Qt. I checked back  on my machine (yesterday 
I was at work, under Linux) - and I found PyQt-mac and sip source dirs, 
so I certainly build those myself. But no Qt-Source (nor package) in 
sight - maybe I got a binary, contrary to my previous posts.

HTH,

Diez

I'm supid, I tried with the wrong version of qt. I took the same as my
linux version (3.3.4), and i read later that only 3.3.5 was supported
on tiger.
This night I compiled Qt, SIP and PyQt without troubles... great !

Now the installation is ok, I can talk about real problems about pyqt
programming :)

I have done a little app in pyqt wich works fine on linux. But with
the mac version, my QDialog seams to not have the focus :( All widgets
are paint with a grey color, as if they were disabled, but they work !
Perhaps i didn't configure my QDialog correctly ?
I haven't my code under my eyes yet, but i remeber the call method :
dlg.show()
dlg.exec_loop()

Does the parameters of __init__ could be implicated in my problem ?

No, you need to run the application as an "aliased applet". That means 
you need something like the attached setup.py.

Hmm, my application is just a .py file that i run like : 'python
MyAppli.py'. Could I fix the problem without making a MacOSX .app ?
I'd prefer launch it in python because i have to develop and debug :)

I didn't say that earlier, but the main menubar doesn't appear.

You need to launch it with "pythonw," not "python."
