Python3 and Qt5 Compatible Addon Macros (in preparation for 0.18)

[Kunda1]

Yes sir. If you could report your results I'll be happy to track them here!

I'll continue tomorrow as promised.

@Syres so... some bad news, the way you formulated the issues in the files makes it very difficult to understand. But it is not for naught, I propose instead of documenting them in the file, a better idea and more efficient is to open new issues for each respective macro in https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-macros/issues
Is that possible for you?

OK, I've put your easy reading tree back to original style layout that I think is clear which have been tested and which not.

When I mentioned a couple of days to allocate to this, perhaps that should have stated strictly 10 to 14 hours as I've got to return to income generation and I'll be offline for a good while so I just won't have the time to deal with the evitable back and forth with the macro authors. I've been trying to at least get the downloads working but that's even proving difficult so I'll see how many more tests I can get done this afternoon.

Yeah, no need to go back and forth with authors just open tickets with the issue you encounter. But I get it. I'll try to get around to this after I complete https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=33475
Thanks for all your help.

Follow-up: I opened up several issues in https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-macros/issues based on @Syres's feedback. Thanks @Syres

Thanks both for reporting!

Thanks both for reporting!

A couple of concerns were raised today after this post https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=34876 . At first I thought the OP had just not downloaded the up-to-date macro through the AddOnManager but on checking that myself I realised the macro downloaded is different to the one on github https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-macr ... le.FCMacro so I'm assuming that there's something in the Wiki that needs tweaking to point at the up-to-date one??

So I knocked together a macro for the OP who had mentioned a couple of different OS and builds being used which leads onto the next thing, does the 2.1.1 version work on your Py3Qt5 build because I still get an error using:

OS: Windows 7
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.16079 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: 6363c90a20b296ab69d7b52230009928199d90df
Python version: 3.6.6
Qt version: 5.6.2
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: English/UnitedKingdom (en_GB)

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:/Data/FreeCAD/Macro/Airfoil_quick61.FCMacro", line 38, in <module>
    QtGui.qApp.activeWindow(), 'Open An Airfoil File', '*.dat')
<class 'AttributeError'>: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'activeWindow'

Hence the reason I had to make the 'hack' for the OP to try two different methods for opening the DAT file.
