Description Kirill Goncharov 2019-01-24 11:32:14 UTC

I'm building an image with PyQt5 installed for RaspberryPi 3.
On the target machine I get import error:

root@raspberrypi3:~# python3
Python 3.5.6 (default, Jan 23 2019, 13:02:59) 
[GCC 8.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import PyQt5
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'PyQt5'

This caused by the fact that PyQt5 is installed to /usr/lib/python3.5m/site-packages/ when all other python packages are in /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ (without 'm' suffix) and it could be fixed by setting the proper path in pyqt.cfg:

pyqt_module_dir = ${D}/${libdir}/python${PYTHON_BASEVERSION}/site-packages

instead of

pyqt_module_dir = ${D}/${libdir}/python${PYTHON_BASEVERSION}${PYTHON_ABI}/site-packages

(python3-pyqt5 recipe: https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/blob/thud/recipes-python/pyqt5/python3-pyqt5_5.11.3.bb)

Similar problem exists in sip3 recipe, I get "ImportError: No module named 'PyQt5.sip'". It could be fixed by the following change in do_configure:

sip_module_dir = ${D}/${libdir}/python${PYTHON_BASEVERSION}/site-packages

instead of

sip_module_dir = ${D}/${libdir}/python${PYTHON_BASEVERSION}${PYTHON_ABI}/site-packages

Is there a bug or I'm misundestanding something?

Comment 1 Randy MacLeod 2019-01-24 17:11:23 UTC

Thanks for reporting the bug.
Unfortunately, problems with PyQt5 aren't tracked on the Yocto bugzilla so I'm closing this defect.

Please open an issue on:
   https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/issues

Comment 2 Kirill Goncharov 2019-01-24 17:19:45 UTC

Yes, I'm going to report to meta-qt5 as well.

But I suspect there is a bug in sip3 recipe too, which belongs to meta-oe layer.

Comment 3 Randy MacLeod 2019-01-24 17:33:20 UTC

Ah, I missed the sip_module_dir part of your report.
You're right, that's in meta-oe but that layer also does not use the YP bugzilla (yet!) so could you send them a patch or report the issue on the email list:
