Pyqt Available For Cacko Rom

[andrewmaier]

Hi,

no idea if I should post it here or in the developer forums, but:

does anyone know of an ipkg (compatible with python ipks on the cacko feed) of pyqt, the python bindings for qt? It would be really nice to have them available for writing some gui code which can run on the Z.

I got them from here (http://www.vanille.de/projects/python.spy) and archived them here (http://sense.net/zc/python/).

I cannot recall if I had to convert the .ipk format.  If so you can use this script:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash

FILE=$1
EXT=$(echo $FILE | awk -F. '{print $NF}')
PACKAGE=$(echo $FILE | sed "s/.$EXT\$//")

if [ ! -r "$FILE" ]
then
        echo "cannot open: $FILE"
        exit 1
fi

set -x

md5sum $FILE
cp -f $FILE ${PACKAGE}.ar
mkdir -p work
cd work
ar x ../${PACKAGE}.ar
tar cvf - . | gzip -9 -c >../${PACKAGE}.ipk
cd ..
rm -rf work

md5sum ${PACKAGE}.ar ${PACKAGE}.ipk
After installing use as a base for PyQT apps:

There's an easier way if you have 50 free megs or so on your SD/CF card:

I have seen this, but isn't that a bit of an overkill to install 50 Megs, if you want to run a few scripts?

The latest version is actually only about 8.6 megs, which may be a bit less overkill.

...but read-only, can't add stuff to site-packages, so it's your choice.

I stand corrected, but still the point is if you write an app in python, you should be able to make dependencies which ipkg can resolve and install only those things needed.  If I have to install a complete image just to run a relatively small script, I think this is overkill

For a development image, like the dev-img I agree things are different and the image approach is probably correct.
