Python 3/Qt 5 package uploaded to daily PPA

[NormandC]

Tasks panel uses QSint based widget and some styling is applied by default. Likely here for Linux:

Ah, thanks, that explains it.

If that is desired i can take a look in about 3 days time.

I would appreciate it, but there is no rush, I can live without. I do think that "branch lines" should be default in the Model tree, without needing to set a stylesheet. It would help newcomers understand the tree structure better - and help experienced users too. But this seems to be controlled by the host system's default for file lists, and since Win7 and on Linux DEs too, lists no longer use branches as in the WinXP era. It may be OK for desktop file explorers, or a help file, but for a parametric CAD program's history tree, I think it's a usability setback.

I'm afraid I have completely hijacked Kurt's topic.

Hi Kurt,
today I installed freecad-python3 on a Mint19-64bit system to find out the necessary to upgrade flamingo w.b. to Py3 and Qt5.

As I wrote earlier, this package is completely broken and unusable. It has not been updated since August 13th.

Maybe for now, you could use the Conda_Py3Qt5 AppImage?

This is also a work in progress.

Thanks to all for the hints.
Well, I guess anything is somewhat a work-in-progress here. I keep trying, in a way or another.

Some issues are that the About FreeCAD isn't reported properly, I know the build is old but am not sure how old. We'll get there, we just aren't there yet. The build is usable but there have been many PY3 fixes in master since it was created.

You're welcome.

I agree. Best if you open a new thread (or if a moderator will split this one). And we can discuss more about achieving this custom style sheet in dedicated thread.

I noticed @Normandc encountered this same issue with the sip module not loading under Py3 / ubuntu, but I didn't see a clear solution was found as I scanned the thread..

Specifically, when I try to load my transportation WB, I get:

Code: Select all

I think we need a more serious debugging of QT5 and I was about to suggest moving the PPA to QT5 and I "discovered" this thread.

What do you think?

[triplus]

Yes. Whenever possible and feasible (newest Debian/Ubuntu ...) FreeCAD 0.19 development builds should default to Py3/Qt5.

I am not finding freecad-python3 in the daily ppa. Has it been removed?
