Problems with pyQt4

[fmhahne]

I have installed artview through Anaconda on Debian, but when I try to run it, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/fmhahne/.anaconda2/bin/artview", line 4, in <module>
    import artview.__main__
  File "/home/fmhahne/.anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/artview/__init__.py", line 54, in <module>

  File "/home/fmhahne/.anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/artview/core/core.py", line 10, in <module>
    from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
ImportError: No module named PyQt4

I tried to install pyqt4 (pyqt5 is already installed) with:

conda install pyqt=4

but I get:

Fetching package metadata ...........
Solving package specifications: .

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - arm_pyart
  - pyqt 4*
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

When I run the test tests/qt.py I get the following error:

testing matplotlib qt backend ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "qt.py", line 18, in test_matplotlib_qt_backend
    from PyQt4 import QtCore as QtCore4
ImportError: No module named PyQt4

... If you experience this test failure, it may be an expected! We would like to know why, please report in 'https://github.com/nguy/artview/issues'

Someone knows how to fix it?

I would suggest using the newest version (1.3) which is PyQt5 compatible. There is no conda package for it, so you will have to download from here and install manually (it should be really simple).

It worked. Thanks!
