PySide migration

There don't seem to be any DEV packages.

Thanks Norm
Stupid packagemanager...I searched pyside and it does not find that package...I have to search libpyside. I have found this before with other libs, I should have thought of that this time.

Its compiling now ...but this would not doubt be the problem.

OK that definitely fix the problem.

Should Cmake have complained when this package was not on my system?

[NormandC]

I guess that means that to produce the .deb packages in the PPA, the libpyside-dev package will have to be added to the build dependencies, even though python-pivy automatically adds python-qt4 as dependency...

I'll have to test and implement this soon or the Daily PPA will be broken in the next day or so.

[wmayer]

But I'm not sure how far this is a problem, since after all, nothing impeachs a module to still use PyQt, as long as it doesn't use any of the FreeCAD python functions...

This shouldn't cause a problem because the sogui module checks if sip and PyQt is available, if not it doesn't load them. The only stupid thing is that python-pivy has a dependency to python-qt but this shouldn't cause a real problem.

Will these changes stop this compile error that I always get?

The reason for the build failure is that the soqt sources have been generated with an older SoQt and Python version. Anyway, you should exclude the build of pivy via cmake.

Should Cmake have complained when this package was not on my system?

It just prints some status information but doesn't raise an error if libshiboken-dev and libpyside-dev are missing.

Btw, for me the Arch module doesn't load either. It prints this message:

'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' in position 3: ordinal not in range(128)

I copied the Pyside addition to the libpack into the existing Libpack for Windows. The compilation was running through. But at starting I got: No module named PySide.
The start-Workbench was empty. I had the same effect on Linux. There I had installed the libpyside-dev packages. So the compilation did run. But I got also: No module named Pyside. It got fixed after installing all the pyside packages.

Is this pyside python code not integrated in the Libpack Pyside-addition?

and on starting Arch I get
arguments did not match any overloaded call:
QMainWindow.addDockWidget(Qt.DockWidgetArea, QDockWidget): argument 1 has unexpected type 'PySide.QtCore.Qt.DockWidgetArea'
QMainWindow.addDockWidget(Qt.DockWidgetArea, QDockWidget, Qt.Orientation): argument 1 has unexpected type 'PySide.QtCore.Qt.DockWidgetArea'

Is that error fixed when you installed pyside dev packages? Strange!

local variable 'translate' referenced before assignment

This happened other times with other people too, I could never find out what was wrong, but it always got solved by wiping your .FreeCAD folder...

Btw, for me the Arch module doesn't load either. It prints this message: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' in position 3: ordinal not in range(128)

Ah got it... the problem is in the translations, some non-ascii chars are passed to str()... I'll fix that ASAP. Funny that it worked before!

[jmaustpc]

No, Yorik, I only got those problems because I was missing the dev package that Norm told me about.


It all works perfectly for me now.

My only thought now is why did not Cmake or Make tell me that I had a problem? Should we change something so that Cmake tells me it can't find Pyside dev files?

I had all the pyside packages I could find. But my package manager search would not find the above package libpyside-dev until I searched "libpyside" as distinct from "pyside", very annoying, but nothing to do with FreecAD.

Werner said he still has a problem with Arch WB but I don't at least with my current FreeCAD version. I have not looked up yet to see if there is an update from 2964.

I don't think FreeCAD can find the PySide stuff from the LibPack. If you do "import sys; print sys.path" you won't see any LibPack directory names. So, you have to copy the stuff to FreeCAD's bin or lib directory.

On Linux you actually have nothing to do. If it doesn't work there then something else must be wrong.

[yorik]

Ok I just fixed the translation system of Arch & Draft... Those should start and work normally now.
