PyQt5 installation

Pernillux · March 30, 2021, 1:40am

Hello,

I’m trying to install PyQt5 in a qt5-wayland-examples-vivante container. I have tried different methods, but they crash out in the following way:

I would appreciate any kind of help on this one, I do not know where to begin…

In general if you need to install packages that have native code inside them it’s better to use debian packages, rather than pip. In this way you’ll get pre-build binaries without having to install the toolchain inside your container.
Our vscode extension supports Qt for Python (pyside2) and not PyQt, but this is a sample of the dockerfiles it generates:

FROM --platform=linux/arm64 torizon/qt5-wayland:2

# Make sure we don't get notifications we can't answer during building.
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive"

# Install required packages
RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
    python3-minimal \
    python3-pip \
    python3-setuptools \
    qml-module-qtquick-controls \
    qml-module-qtquick-controls2 \
    qml-module-qtquick2 \
    python3-pyside2.qtwidgets \
    python3-pyside2.qtgui \
    python3-pyside2.qtqml \
    python3-pyside2.qtcore \
    python3-pyside2.qtquick \
    python3-pyside2.qtnetwork \
    qml-module-qtquick-dialogs \
    \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

USER torizon
WORKDIR /dummy010

CMD /usr/bin/python3 main.py

Here https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=bullseye&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=pyqt5
you can find packages for PyQt5, you can install them in a similar way.
If you are just starting development I would suggest checking pyside2 since this is what we are going to support in our development tools.
