Your local version of pyside2 is prefered and not compatible with pyside2 of the appimage. Better not install pyside2 locally via pip. Maybe it's possible for you to uninstall the local pyside2.

Surely there has to be a better way? Is it not possible to force the appimg to use its own version? Thought that was kind of the entire point with app img and simular containers.

python allows to use a -s argument which disables user-side-packages. Maybe it's possible to add this option to FreeCAD? The best option would be a switch in the config of freecad to enable/disable ~/.local/lib/pythonx.y.

I am no appimg expert and have not seen the actual freecad app img creation script, but this looks helpful:
https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit ... ython-apps

Especially: "it is advised that you use workingenv.py, a script that sets up an isolated environment into which you can install your Python app and its dependencies that are not part of the standard library."

But that might be what is done already and some smart config still decides that the system lib is better..

In your case it's not a system lib that makes problems. It's a package installed for the user in home-directory. Packages installed this way are also available for different virtual envs and it's more by design this is like it is.

My suggestion is to not install any difficult packages in home directory.

This might be helpful:
http://matthew-brett.github.io/pydagogu ... ebian.html

"The --user flag to pip install tells Pip to install packages in some specific directories within your home directory. This is a good way to have your own default Python environment that adds to the packages within your system directories, and therefore, does not affect the system Python installation.

So, if you install a package like this:

Code: Select all

pip install --user mypackage
"

some tests:

fresh python3.7 environment:

Code: Select all

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python37.zip', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python3.7', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python3.7/site-packages']
install a package with pip:

Code: Select all

pip install six
sys.path stays the same:

Code: Select all

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python37.zip', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python3.7', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python3.7/site-packages']
>>> 
now install six for the user:

Code: Select all

pip uninstall six
pip install --user
printing the path again:

Code: Select all

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python37.zip', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python3.7', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/home/lo/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/home/lo/conda/envs/python37/lib/python3.7/site-packages']
Now the user-side-packages-dir is added.

For the app-image we do not install any packages with pip and the --user flag. But I used it for the pip-integration-tool. So maybe you installed any library with this tool? Or the appimage does some magic and adds this directory to sys.path?

I always assumed that the user-side-packages are also available to virtual-envs. But you are right and it makes sense if this is not the case.

For the pip-integration-tool I need to find another solution. I guess a special --user-dir would be nice to have. Maybe something like "~/.FreeCAD/pythonx.y/lib/site-packages". This would be nice, but I never found a way to manually set the user-side-packages-dir.
