PyQt not on PYTHONPATH

[Stuart Langridge]

Binary package hint: python2.4-qt3

PyQt is not on the default PYTHONPATH.

aquarius@giles:~$ python -c "import qt"

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 1, in ?

ImportError: No module named qt

aquarius@giles:~$

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ python -c "import qt"

aquarius@giles:~$

This breaks hp-toolbox in the hpijs package, among other things.

I can confirm this: starting HPLIB Toolbox from Control Center does not start anything.
Executing this command directly in a terminal:
~$ /usr/bin/hp-toolbox
error: PyQt not installed. GUI not available. Exiting.
error: PyQt/Qt initialization error. Please check install of PyQt/Qt and try again.

Which ubuntu release have you tested this on? On Ubuntu Dapper (6.06 LTS) I could not confirm this problem.

[markba (mark-baaijens)]

Detected this on Feisty while examining Control Center from gnome-main-menu.

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

I cannot reproduce this problem.... Everything is fine on my feisty installation

I've feisty and i've the same problem:

error: PyQt not installed. GUI not available. Exiting.
error: PyQt/Qt initialization error. Please check install of PyQt/Qt and try again.

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

Could you please do a

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and check if it still occurs. If so, could yu please show a list of pyton packages and qt packages that are installed.

dpkg-query -l '*python*"
dpkg-query -l "*qt*"

Thanks

[markba (mark-baaijens)]

Workaround: sudo apt-get install python-qt3

[Ralph Janke (txwikinger)]

And please show with

python --version

which python is being used.

Thanks

isnt this a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/86893 ? It surely is, when you do not have python-qt3 installed.
