PyQT4 App

[Mitko]

Hi, i try to run this project, but can't install PyQT4. I use PyChram, i try with Python 3.8. and Python 2.7. but can't install PyQT4.
Any help?

@Mitko
It's a bad idea to try to go back to PyQt4/Qt4 now. How many instructions for installing PyQt4 did you try?

Maybe you can find something for PyQt5. Somebody seems to be using that in https://ru.stackoverflow.com/questions/813834/Как-передать-параметры-в-поток-pyqt5. Or update what is at your link to PyQt5.

@JonB
So, can i use the example you gave me, to convert PyQT4 to 5?
Or there is other options?

[JonB]

@Mitko
I stated that the example I quoted seems already to be in PyQt5. I have no idea what it does, as I don't speak Russian.

The github code you quoted is in PyQt4. Personally I would rather update that to PyQt5 than try to install and get PyQt4 working. Up to you.

@JonB
Ok, if i can't use PyQt4, how can i convert this part of the project (that use PyQt4 ) to PyQt5 ?
The project should establish zigbee topology, but i can't test it

@Mitko
I don't know if you mean by "part of the project" that you think you can have a project containing some PyQt5/Qt5 stuff and some PyQt4/Qt4 together in one app. If you do think that, you can't. So you have a couple of choices:

• Continue your original route of trying to get PyQt4/Qt4 installed and running, using the various resources you were trying for PyQt4/Qt4, so that you can use xbee-gui as-is. I just think that's rather hard, and not good going forward if you intend to do further development, but I never did that so I don't know.

• Change xbee-gui code to move to PyQt5/Qt5. I used https://wiki.qt.io/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5 and perhpas https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46554746/pyqt4-to-pyqt5-how for that.

• Find some already-ported version of xbee-gui or ask the original developer. But I don't know that you will get much joy that way.

As you please.

I try to upgrade from PyQT4 to 5, but now i have other types of errors, that i don't understand.
Can someone help me ?

[JonB]

@Mitko
I don't think this is actually anything to do with PyQt, or Qt. If you had copied and pasted the text instead of screenshot I could have quoted from it. But I see a Python3.8 json library loader complaining about some character in its JSON input.

[Mitko]

@JonB

The error was, because part one of the files (the json), containing the xbee commands, has Russian in it, so the problem was with UTF-8 encoding, but i fix it.
But now i have the following problem:

File "C:/xbee-gui-master/MainForm.py", line 18, in <module>
    class Block(QtGui.QMainWindow, QtGui.QTreeView):
NameError: name 'QtGui' is not defined

How to solve it ?

[JonB]

@Mitko
Qt5 moved widget code from QtGui to QtWidgets, change to that. You will have to do the same for any other widget stuff. I gave you reference to https://wiki.qt.io/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5 for this --- it's the very first item there --- and told you that's what I used to do the porting work.

I began to solve this problem, but now i have this error:

    self.setWindowIcon(QtWidgets.QIcon("zigbee.png"))

@Mitko said in PyQT4 App:

QIcon

This one is in gui module.
I guess in PyQt it is PyQt5.QtGui

[Mitko]

@jsulm

I change it, but now i have this:

I did not suggest to write QtWidgets.QGui but PyQt5.QtGui

@Mitko said in PyQT4 App:

PyQt5.QGui("zigbee.png")

What is this?! You want to use QIcon, right?
It should be I guess

QtGui.QIcon("zigbee.png")

It is also shown in the documentation which you should consult: https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-5/PySide2/QtGui/QIcon.html

You of course have to import this module like any other module

[Mitko]

@jsulm
Via Interpreter ? I've try, it seems to installed, but i've got same error

Don't know what you mean.

from PyQt5 import QtGui
