Couldn't load SIP module. Python support will be disabled. QGIS 3.10 LTR Windows 10 64-bit #37783

Closed abhiinav-18 closed 4 years ago

abhiinav-18 commented 4 years ago

I used to work on QGIS 3.4 some months back but then started using Anaconda for python. Recently I got back on QGIS. I downloaded the QGIS 3.10 LTR (64-bit) but ran into an error saying "Couldn't load SIP module. Python support will be disabled". I am not able to install any plugins because of no python support.

**Error message on launch: Couldn't load SIP module. Python support will be disabled.

Did you install qgis using anaconda? If so , this isn't the recommended approach, and there's many known issues like this

no, I downloaded it from the QGIS website. I also had QGIS 3.4 from before and I got the new verson today.

roya0045 commented 4 years ago

Seems like a syspath issue, though I never encountered any with anaconda and qgis. In you deinstall anaconda, does that fix the problem? I recall there was options to modify path variables when installing conda.

Also does your 3.4 install still works (assuming you didn't remove it)?

abhiinav-18 commented 4 years ago

I have not removed my anaconda yet. If I remove it then do I have to add a library like TensorFlow again? I don't want to lose all that also.

I had removed QGIS 3.4 when I got 3.10. Although I installed 3.4 again as I had the setup and it has the same error now. You are right regarding path variables can you tell more.

this link may help solve but I couldn't understand it: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/108458/couldnt-load-sip-module-qgis-doesnt-load-python

roya0045 commented 4 years ago

In your anaconda do you have pyqt installed? Your link made me curious if you have another qt lib that could intercept the one in qgis.

abhiinav-18 commented 4 years ago

Thanks for helping out. I did a 'conda list' in anaconda command prompt and found that I've got a PyQt library. I'll add the snap in the command.

interestingly I also found an old version of QGIS on my laptop i.e. QGIS 2.14 Essen. I installed it and found the same problem. Only the python version in error was Python 2.7 there. pyqt

gioman commented 4 years ago

@abhiinav-18 I think this is a local issue and I'm inclined to close this ticket.

abhiinav-18 commented 4 years ago

I think many people suffer from the same problem as I'm. Also, this is my first post on Github so I don't know the rules around here. All I can do is request you not to close the issue without a solution.

gioman commented 4 years ago

All I can do is request you not to close the issue without a solution.

@abhiinav-18 no valid general issue is closed without a solution, but this do not seems to be a general QGIS issue, but of course I'll leave to more informed persons to take the decision.

markjessell commented 4 years ago

I have the same problem (using qgis 3.14 but also running older versions). I also am running anaconda. I haven't found a solution yet.

to be specific it is slightly different but probably related to the same cause:

roya0045 commented 4 years ago

Out of curiousity, try removing pyqt from your packages

markjessell commented 4 years ago

thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't change anything (and neither did reinstalling it afterwards)

Desiree22 commented 4 years ago

I also had the same issue! not sure what caused it but I may have made an unintended change to one of the bat files.

Problem solved by deleting the python 3.7 folder. Folder python 3.7 is in the directory C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Python

This may have other consequences but at least for now I am able to run my QGIS again without the python error. I also have anaconda installed and everything is working fine.

QGIS version: 3.14.1 Python Version: 3.7.4 Windows 10 Home Version 2004

markjessell commented 4 years ago

wow, thank you Desiree, that fixed it for me as well! I just renamed the python directory (just in case!!) in the equivalent path (my user name instead of Admin), so now all is right with the world!

gioman commented 4 years ago

Closing as a solution has been provided.

kikislater commented 4 years ago

Question remain why qgis is looking in this folder ... May be paths definition could be enhance in some .bat

rdejtiar commented 4 years ago

CRTejaswi commented 3 years ago

I had the same problem. I use pip package manager. I got over this issue by removing all PyQt5 packages (I don't use them anyway). On Windows, this came in handy:

(pip list) -match 'qt'
python -m pip uninstall pyqt5 pyqt5-sip qtconsole
msecher commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I applied the solution of CRTejaswi of removing PyQt5 packages and it worked for qgis (I have a QGIS 3.14.1 and QGIS 3.10.9 on a debian 10).

My problem is that I have others softwares which need PyQt5 to work.

Is there any other solution to keep PyQt5 packages and still be able to run QGIS 3 ?

roya0045 commented 3 years ago

@msecher which version of pyqt5 did you have/need?

abhiinav-18 commented 3 years ago

@Desiree22 solution worked for me on QGIS version 3.10.10. I did not remove any PyQt packages and now I've python support in QGIS.

msecher commented 3 years ago

@roya0045 I need at least PyQt5 5.9.0 and I have PyQt5 5.15.1

@Desiree22 I tried to install QGIS 3.10.10 and it is still not working for me.

markjessell commented 3 years ago

In the end what worked for me was to write a small script that I run from Cygwin but a bat script would do too:

1) renames my anaconda python directory to python_temp 2) launches qgis 3) pauses for ten seconds until qgis is launched 4) renames the python_temp directory back to python

Stupid but effective, and once qgis has launched it has all the plugins and my other python code runs fine too.

obviously paths will have to be changed to get this to work on anyone else computer...

@msecher is there a system conflict if you install PyQt5 as a --user installation or in a virtual environment?

# User Installation
pip install --user PyQt5
# Virtual-Environment based Installation
python -m venv myProject/venv; cd myProject
source venv/bin/activate
pip install PyQt5

I ran into this problem today and didn't want to uninstall anything so searched around. In QGIS, Go to Settings > Options >System >Environment. I selected the 'Use custom variables' checkbox and for the Variable PYTHONPATH, I changed to the Python within OSGEO4W like so: VALUE = C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python39\Lib\site-packages;C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python39\Lib;C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python39

Initially it was in my other Python folder on my root drive that I use Anaconda on. This fixed the issue for me and I didn't need to remove anything or create a batch file. Hope it helps.

Why do you need 3.18 ? 3.22 is released now

Just fixed !

I unistalled Qt and Qgis, then reinstalled Qgis. It seems to work for me.

Hope it will help other Linux user...

The approach of sean-44 worked for me as well. I'm on Linux (Ubuntu)

I retrieved the value for PYTHONPATH from 

which python3

and added it in QGIS to Settings > Options … > System > Environment.

After a restart the error did not pop up again.

GregDeakin commented 1 year ago

Same problem here.

I have Ubuntu on Windows WSL2. Anaconda install of Python 3.9 and apt install of Python 3.8.

I've fixed by purging 3.9 and QGIS. Then reinstalling QGIS and removing PyQt5* from ~/.local/lib/Python3.8/site-packages.

I suspect just removing the the the PyQt5 stuff from site-packages would have been sufficient

On Ubuntu Jammy, adding the PYTHONPATH to the environment variables didn't work, what did work was pip uninstall pyqt5. Before this not only was I getting the error at startup I was also unable to load any plugins.

To document this case on linux, this error happened when I tried to start qgis from a shell (which I didn’t see) was a poetry shell. it works ok when I start qgis from a normal shell.
