I believe that the difference between Python 3.8 and 3.9 should not matter too much. Perhaps you can try using pipenv (isolated python environment) for installing dependencies and running the code - since in the command above you are installing PyQt6 systemwide. Is the problem the same on desktop Ubuntu/Debian? If more people have problems with PyQt6 I will look into it, but in general I would prefer to stick to new(est) versions of libraries as much as possible
I tested using Python 3.9 + PyQt6 on my system (Arch Linux, x86) and it works fine. Closing this issue for now, but we can figure out RPi support on a separate issue or discord if you can't get it to work
So, I was trying to install this tool on my RPI 3B+ running Raspbian 11(bullseye). Since it already comes installed with Python 3.9, I decided to just use the default build instead of building Python3.8(or greater) from source.
The
pipenv install
commands fails due to pyqt6 issue(after changing dependency to Python3.9). The log frompip install pyqt6
is as follows:For now, I've switched to pyqt5 using this command to install :
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
. And it works fine. I think this is an internal problem with pyqt6 since it is relatively new and needs some patchwork before it is a stable build.
