pyside2-rcc resource compiler not working on desktop

blossomsg

Hello All,
I have a qrc file
through rcc.exe i got output of .py file
and then i imported the file but it gives a syntax error
i am providing the the rcc code as well
and you can disable the comment and comment the complete path for checking purpose

import sys

from PySide2 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtGui

# import succinct_save_rcc


class MyWidget(QtWidgets.QWidget):

    def __init__(self):

        QtWidgets.QWidget.__init__(self)


        self.button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Click me!")

        self.text = QtWidgets.QLabel()

        self.pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap("D:\\All_Projs\\Maya_Projs\\succinct_save\\unwanted_files\\succinct_save.jpg")

        # self.pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap(":/succinct_save_prefix/succinct_save.jpg")

        self.text.setPixmap(self.pixmap)

        self.text.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)


        self.layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()

        self.layout.addWidget(self.text)

        self.layout.addWidget(self.button)

        self.setLayout(self.layout)



if __name__ == "__main__":

    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)


    widget = MyWidget()

    widget.show()


    sys.exit(app.exec_())

above is the working version of the code
but with the full image path
below is the qrc please run in pyside2 rcc.exe

<RCC>
  <qresource prefix="succinct_save_prefix">
    <file>succinct_save.jpg</file>
  </qresource>
</RCC>

thank you.

Hi,

Which version of PySide2 are you using ?
How did you install it ?

eyllanesc

@blossomsg What do you mean by syntax error? On the other hand, when converting the resource.qrc file, it must have the name resource_rc.py

@SGaist
Hi,
PySide2 -- 5.15.0
installed it through pycharm

@eyllanesc
is it mandatory to keep "resource_rc.py"?

@blossomsg that's C++ code, you must use the "-g" option.

rcc.exe -g python your_resource.qrc -o your_resource_rc.py

or

rcc.exe -g python2 your_resource.qrc -o your_resource_rc.py

See the help:

rcc.exe  --help

In pyqt5 the extension is used, perhaps in pyside2 it is not necessary.

blossomsg

@eyllanesc
I knew it was c++ but did not know we could enable python with -g
completely forgot to check the help.
and yes with pyqt5 it was generating proper python but not with pyside2.

Man you are a genius thanks a bunch!

SGaist

@blossomsg out of curiosity, why not use pyside2-rcc.exe like your thread title suggests you did ?

blossomsg

@SGaist
Hey,
Sorry for late reply
but they don't package pyside2-rcc.exe anymore, i got to know this through maya
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-programming/maya-2018-pyside-rcc-missing/td-p/9497915
they have not updated the docs
even they use rcc.exe
due which then i started using PyQt4 rcc

and through pycharm i have downloaded the latest pyside2 5.15.0
but again rcc.exe

i can be wrong but if so i should be able to find the pyside2-rcc.exe in the site-package folder
