Bug 292419 – dev-python/PyQt4-4.7.4 fails to build with Python 3.2 (PyCObject)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2009-11-08 18:47:25 UTC]

dev-python/PyQt4-4.6.1-r1 fails to build with Python 3.2. It uses PyCObject-related functions which are deprecated in Python 3.1 and removed in Python 3.2. PyCapsule-related functions should be used.

Try the latest 4.7 snapshot in qting-edge overlay. If that fails too, please report the issue to Phil (upstream dev).

hi,
i tried to compile: 
 - PyQt4-4.6.2
 - PyQt-4.7... (qting-edge today - 20091231)

with:
 - python 3.2
 - python 3.1

While 3.1 seems to work for now, with python 3.2 wont compile as described here.

To get it compiled i had to:
 emerge -C python:3.2
 python-updater
 emerge --oneshot sip PyQt4

To use qting-edge overlay versions i had to add sip and PyQt4 to /etc/portage/package.unmask/ as usual before.

Sorry, i have no contact from Phil, so i post it here.

hth
Cheers,

Niels Dettenbach.

You can use the public mailing list (pyqt[AT]riverbankcomputing.com) or contact Phil directly (phil[AT]riverbankcomputing.com).

[Comment 5 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) 2010-01-02 15:43:45 UTC]

Adding RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS="3.*"

But the real issue needs to be taken upstream.

Please don't. >=PyQt4-4.5 works fine with Python 3.1 (it's even officially supported); this bug is about >=python-3.2 which is not even in portage.

[Comment 7 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2010-01-02 17:09:03 UTC]

I changed restriction to only 3.2. This bug should be left open until it's properly fixed.

[Comment 8 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2010-07-26 13:15:01 UTC]

This should be fixed in latest sip/PyQt4 releases. Please try with >=dev-python/sip-4.10.5 and >=dev-python/PyQt4-4.7.4

[Comment 9 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2010-07-26 13:27:22 UTC]

dev-python/PyQt4-4.7.4 still unconditionally uses PyCObject-related functions.

[Comment 10 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2010-09-01 19:22:26 UTC]

Fixed in PyQt4-4.7.5
