Pip installation error: invalid script entry point #32

Open tomanizer opened 5 years ago

tomanizer commented 5 years ago

pip install in empty virtual environment on python 3.67 fails with:

ERROR: Invalid script entry point: <ExportEntry timeview = timeview.__main__:None []> for req: TimeView==0.1.0 - A callable suffix is required. Cf https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/distributing.html#console-scripts for more information.

command as per readme: pip install git+https://github.com/lxkain/timeview

this may or may not be caused by another problem, with the pip install:

the files: TimeView.icns TimeView.qch TimeView.qhc

are not copied into the gui directory. Program consequently fails with an assertion error in line 900 in viewer.py when looking for the help file. Copying the missing files manually after install, resolves the issue.

Hi @tomanizer thanks for reporting the issue and the fix. TimeView has been off of life support for some time, in large part due to awaiting the next release of https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph which I'm working on myself.

Once the next release of pyqtgraph makes its way to pypi, I'll likely pick up TimeView development, and will most likely create native installers via the fbs package here: https://github.com/mherrmann/fbs
