Issues building PyQt6 #40

Open cr3ation opened 2 months ago

cr3ation commented 2 months ago

Failing to build labelle due to error thrown when building PyQt6.

Scenario 1

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B+ OS: Raspberry Pi OS 12 (based on Bookworm) Python versions tested: 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 Installation method 1: pipex install labelle

Error trown:

pi@dymo:~/Documents $ pipx install labelle
Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
    /home/pi/.local/pipx/logs/cmd_2024-05-01_20.33.15_pip_errors.log

pip seemed to fail to build package:
    pyqt6

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
    error: subprocess-exited-with-error
    error: metadata-generation-failed

Error installing labelle.

Hello Henrik,

Thank you for reporting this issue. I suspect it is not a labelle specific issue.

Could you please try to execute the following command?

pip install pyqt6

In case you experience errors installing this package, then please open an issue in https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/support/pyqt

Regards, Tomer

Hello Tomer,

Thank you for your extremely rapid response! I'll will do some tests tomorrow and post an update. I'll get back to you!

Good morning Tomer,

Running pip install pyqt6 throws the same error.

Did I understand correctly that I have to join the mail group in order to raise an issue regarding pyqt?

Hey Henrik,

Did I understand correctly that I have to join the mail group in order to raise an issue regarding pyqt? Yes, it seems that this is the way to get them to help you with your issue.

This is an indication that it is clearly not a fault in the Labelle code base. Labelle uses PyQT6 as a 3rd party software module. It is a software library which lets you develop applications with intuitive user interfaces for multiple devices and platforms, and it is used by the Labelle app, thus it is being installed as part of the installation process. Since the error you experience happens during the installation of that library, then the issue is clearly with that library's code, and not with anything specific to labelle. I wish I could have helped you with this, but I am not proficient enough with PyQT6's installation process. I suggest you go to their homepage at https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/ and seek help from the developers of that library. They have an extensive Asking For Help page here: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/support/pyqt.

HTH, Tomer

@cr3ation, are you primarily interested in Labelle CLI or GUI? In case you only need the CLI, then in principle pyqt is not needed. In that case a workaround would be to manually install the dependencies, so something along the lines of

pip install --no-deps labelle
pip install platformdirs "Pillow>=8.1.2,<11" "PyQRCode>=1.2.1,<2" "python-barcode>=0.13.1,<1" "pyusb" "darkdetect" "typer"

And ideally the above should be done in a virtual environment so that you're not polluting your global environment.

(We might consider in the future separating the CLI and GUI so that pyqt is no longer formally a required dependency for the CLI, but this would first require some discussion, and there's no timeline.)

cr3ation commented 2 months ago

@maresb, thank you! I'm only interested in Labelle CLI. No need for Labelle GUI.

The following works for building only the CLI!

pip install --no-deps labelle
pip install platformdirs "Pillow>=8.1.2,<11" "PyQRCode>=1.2.1,<2" "python-barcode>=0.13.1,<1" "pyusb" "darkdetect" "typer"

If possible, I think it might be a good thing to have the CLI and GUI separated in order to not end up in similar issues in the future.

Feel free to have a look at my small project dymo-webprint. A Flask web service used to print labels using POST request.

@tomers, I'll make sure to post a notification to inform riverbankin about the build issues related to PyQT6.

You decide if you want to consider this issue resolved or not. I'm happy – however the app can still not be built as intended.

Thank's for all your friendly help!

tomers commented 2 months ago

@cr3ation great to hear :-) I'm quite surprised by your project! I did not look into it yet, but the idea is exactly what we had in mind for our roadmap. It would be great if you could wrap it in a docker image and publich it to https://hub.docker.com/ or any other docker registry. I guess we could mention your project in our documentation and/or examples (feel free to submit PR for that...)

cr3ation commented 2 months ago

Thank's for your kind words. It's a really simple web app that only support basic functionality.

I have uploaded a docker image to docker hub.

You can run it by using

docker run -d --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb -p 5001:5001 creation/dymo-webprint:latest`

Below are some usage examples. Please keep in mind; this only has some core functionality for basic printing. I have not created any API-support for advanced customisation of prints.

Print using POST request:

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
