What is the issue with PyQt5?
- MarcScott 9y agoPyQT5 is actually packaged, and I was just being lazy in my comment. It's actually pyqtchart and qscintilla that are the problems. They're not packaged for nix and won't install in a virtualenv with pip. Something to do with hardcoded paths for dependencies I think. I'm going to have a go at writing a nix files that build them from source, with the help of a NixOS expert, so we'll see how that goes.
- CMCDragonkai 9y agoIn the nixpkgs repository, sometimes you see certain packages requiring either patches to their source code or sed changes to config files because their build system was hardcoding paths that they shouldn't.
