Need help with sip to create a PyQt5 wrapper for a C++ object that inherits from QWidget.
-
I'm trying to create a PyQt5 wrapper for a C++ object that inherits from QWidget.
All the documentation that I can find seems to be either out of date or incomplete.
Platform is Windows.
I'm using Python version 3.9.2
I have done
pip install PyQt5 # version 5.15.2
pip install sip # version 6.0.3I have downloaded source for Qt5.15.2 and compiled it.
In C++ I have created an object that inherits from QWidget.
I have compiled this object to a .dll and have the corresponding .libI have created a sip file for this widget.
I have created pyproject.toml file.When I run sip-build I see output:
sip-build: ::QWidget has not been definedI don't know what file sip-build desires for a definition of QWidget. A .sip, .h, .lib.
I have attempted to place paths to all of these files in pyproject.toml.I have looked at the project here:
https://github.com/eyllanesc/Qt5toPyQt5
python configure.py reports
No module named 'sipconfig', leading me to believe this is outdated.
The project also does not have pyproject.toml file.I have followed the official sip documentation.
There are 3 examples. The first 2 wrap ordinary 'C' code. These examples work.
The third example doesn't explain what files go into what folders and appears to not document one of the files. I could not make this work. This example was to demonstrate importing a module from another module. It did not wrap a QWidget. I can't find anything using sip-build that wraps a QWidget. -
