Pymakr under Linux Fedora. Anyone?

[jnc]

Hi

I'm trying to run Pymakr 1.0.0.b7-1 under Fedora 25 but when i try to start it, I always get the following error:

jnc@enigma ~ $ pymakr
Python 2.7.12
Error in sys.excepthook:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/pymakr/modules/pymakr.py", line 145, in excepthook
    import Utilities
  File "/usr/share/pymakr/modules/Utilities/__init__.py", line 62, in <module>
    from PyQt5.Qsci import QSCINTILLA_VERSION_STR, QsciScintilla
ImportError: No module named Qsci

Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/pymakr/modules/pymakr.py", line 368, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/pymakr/modules/pymakr.py", line 268, in main
    if not Globals.checkBlacklistedVersions():
  File "/usr/share/pymakr/modules/Globals/__init__.py", line 110, in checkBlacklistedVersions
    from PyQt5.Qsci import QSCINTILLA_VERSION_STR
ImportError: No module named Qsci

I've checked the installed packages, and can't figure out what I'm missing:

Thanks for your help

Hi @jnc, I've just seen your dump and list (thanks for providing them), and I'm sorry to tell you that at the present time Pymakr doesn't play nice in *nix with Qt5 installed. It's on our list of bugs to fix. Sorry for the inconvenience, and please stay tuned regarding this.

[jnc]

Hi
Thanks for your prompt reply; so how should I work with my boards?
Cheers

[jnc]

Hi @abilio

I'm removed the python-qt5 package (plus a bunch of others that were removed automatically). Now, when I try to start pymakr, I get the following:

jnc@enigma ~ $ pymakr

    return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)

Any idea?

@jnc, I guess you need Qt5 for another app, so at present time you can use the classic telnet/FTP combination. You can also try Pymakr in Windows/Mac (they are installed in a semi-portable fashion where Python, Qt and PyQt are self-contained in the same directory).

If you're willing to try Telnet/FTP in the meantime, I can point you to: https://docs.pycom.io/pycom_esp32/pycom_esp32/general.html . We should have Pymakr playing nicely with Qt5 in the upcoming weeks.

Ohh @jnc, I see you went into removing Qt5. I see the dump, and seems its failing early in the start process. Can I ask you how comfortable you are around the terminal window? I have some ideas, but I must confirm with you that you can try them.

[jnc]

@abilio I'm very familiar with the terminal window.

Hi @jnc, btw, can you provide me again with the list of the packages you still have installed in the system that are related to Qt, PyQt and python?

Hello, i use Fedora 25 too and i having the same issue, some prediction to correct the bug?

Hi @abilio ,

I get the same error on fedora25, python-qt5 package is removed. Any idea how to solve?
Thanks!

Any news on this? I'm using antergos (arch based) and have the same problem.

I don't want to be forced to use windows to program my LoPy ;)

Are there any other IDEs to use?

EDIT: i just read the announcment that pymakr is EOL, looking forward to a VScode plugin :D

@Avathar Pymakr is discontinued, see this for more info.
