Bug 528672 – app-text/calibre-1.2.0 with >=dev-python/PyQt4-4.11 - ?

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 526524
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description James Broadhead 2014-11-08 16:59:49 UTC]

app-text/calibre-1.2.0 depends on a python module which PyQt4 no longer supplies as of PyQt4.11:
    from PyQt4.pyqtconfig import QtGuiModuleMakefile

>>> Install calibre-1.20 into /var/tmp/portage/app-text/calibre-1.20/image/ category app-text
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 13, in <module>
    import setup.commands as commands
  File "/var/tmp/portage/app-text/calibre-1.20/work/calibre/setup/commands.py", line 34, in <module>
    from setup.extensions import Build
  File "/var/tmp/portage/app-text/calibre-1.20/work/calibre/setup/extensions.py", line 13, in <module>
    from PyQt4.pyqtconfig import QtGuiModuleMakefile

from the calibre devs: 
"""
calibre 1.x's build system is not going to change. calibre 2.x is based
on PyQt5, where this problem does not occur.
