Set cellacdc run to use different Qt bindings then PyQt6

[brchn6]

Hello i cant work with PyQt6 n the linux machine in working on, there for I want to set up the application to work on different Qt.

Here the message indicated the options:

(acdc) [barc@hgn14 ~]$ cellacdc
------------------------------------------------------------
Cell-ACDC needs to install a GUI library (default library is `PyQt6`).

You can install it now or you can close (press "n") and install
a compatible GUI library with one of the following commands:

    * pip install PyQt6
    * pip install PyQt5 (or `conda install pyqt`)
    * pip install PySide2
    * pip install PySide6

Note: if `PyQt6` installation fails, you could try installing any of the other libraries.

Heres the pip list in my acdc env:

(acdc) [barc@hgn14 ~]$ pip list |grep Py
PyQt5                  5.15.9
PyQt5-Qt5              5.15.2
PyQt5-sip              12.13.0
PySide2                5.15.2.1
QtPy                   2.4.1

Hi @brchn6, I'm sorry to hear you are having issues.

I see that you have both PyQt5 and QtPy so Cell-ACDC should not complain about a missing Qt library.

The reason why it complains is that some error happens when importing from qtpy.QtCore import Qt. Since Cell-ACDC does not display the actual error, we need to diagnose that differently. Can you please activate the acdc environment, run the command python3 (or just python if you are using conda), and then run from qtpy.QtCore import Qt. This way you should get the actual error in the terminal.

Let me know what the error is, thanks!

Hey, thanks for yor reply,
here what you asked:

(acdc) [barc@hgn22 ~]$ python3
Python 3.9.19 (main, Mar 21 2024, 17:11:28)
[GCC 11.2.0] :: Anaconda, Inc. on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from qtpy.QtCore import Qt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/labs/mayalab/barc/.conda/envs/acdc/lib/python3.9/site-packages/qtpy/__init__.py", line 287, in <module>
    raise QtBindingsNotFoundError from None
qtpy.QtBindingsNotFoundError: No Qt bindings could be found
>>>

Ok so the error appears to be that qtpy does not find the Qt bindings (despite the fact they are actually installed). Do you mind testing in a new environment? Please try the following:

0. Update conda with conda update conda
1. Create a new env with the command conda create -n test python=3.10
2. Activate with conda activate test
3. Install PyQt5 with conda install -c conda-forge pyqt
4. Install qtpy with conda install -c conda-forge qtpy

After this try again running the python command and import qtpy.QtCore.

If it's imported correctly (no error) you can install cellacdc in this test environment, or if you prefer an environment called acdc you need to remove the old acdc with the command conda env remove -n acdc and recreate it with the same steps above.

Let me know how it goes thanks!

Hi, Super thanks.
That was very simple, and it was totally the error I had received before

the app is up and running 🏃😎
