No module named QtWebKit

I'm on CentOS 7. I don't understand this.

sudo pip install Ghost.py

This simply isn't true, though.

>>> from PyQt4 import QtWebKit

Prior to all this, I did the following:

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum update
sudo yum install cmake qconf qt-devel qt4-devel python-devel PyQt4 PyQt4-devel PyQt4-web*
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 /usr/bin/qmake

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Hi @muddafugga

Did you get any progress on this? I'm getting the same thing on CentOS 7 as well.

[robd518]

@crackjack I wound up giving up and moving on to other projects.

[openrijal]

@muddafugga what other projects have you considered? would be nice to know.

@muddafugga Same here, would be nice to know what alternatives are out there

[robd518]

Sorry @crackjack @phoenixz I meant that I moved on to doing other things, not that I moved on to another project like Ghost.py. I am not sure there are other alternatives out there, but for me, I gave up. :(

So I just setup a VM on CentOS 7.4 to check this issue and could not reproduce. Here is what I did after installing and updating the default install:

# yum install epel-release
# yum install PyQt4 PyQt4-webkit
# yum install python-virtualenv
# virtualenv venv
# . venv/bin/activate
# pip install Ghost.py

Are you still able to reproduce the issue ?
