Pymakr under Linux Fedora. Anyone?

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.

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

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
Python 2.7.12

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?

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.
