pyside2-uic: command not found

Scooter

I get the following error .... bash: pyside2-uic: command not found. How can i get this to run? When I loaded Pyside2 originally using sudo install ... this package was noted as not being found.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What exactly did you install ?
On which distribution ?
For example, on Debian, it's in the pyside2-tools package.

Hello,

I have this same issue (MacOS here). Installed Qt Creator, and gave it a conda env with (filtered list, can show the whole thing):

pyside6 6.4.2 py310h26ac0f8_1 conda-forge
pyside6-uic-extended 0.0.1 pypi_0 pypi
pyside6-utils 1.2.2 pypi_0 pypi
qt6-main 6.4.2 hba381f7_4 conda-forge

I can't find uic nor pyside6-uic anywhere.
Brew seems to have version 6 under the unnumbered alias "pyside", which maybe contains pyside-uic.. but that's unclear and Id rather ask before risking some kind of awful conflict to untangle.

Where is pyside-uic, on its own if possible?

Gregory Gurmatroyid

This fresh env with only pyqt6 and pyside6 doesn't work either :
pyqt6 6.7.0 pypi_0 pypi
pyqt6-qt6 6.7.2 pypi_0 pypi
pyqt6-sip 13.8.0 pypi_0 pypi
pyside6 6.7.2 pypi_0 pypi
pyside6-addons 6.7.2 pypi_0 pypi
pyside6-essentials 6.7.2 pypi_0 pypi

This does it. But then calling pyside6-uic immediately, no matter with/without arguments or --help, gives exception:

So instead, cheating:
Go to your directory with the ui (etc) files, with the venv activated (e.g. conda), and :

from PySide6.scripts.pyside_tool import qt_tool_wrapper

qt_tool_wrapper("uic", ['-g', 'python'] + ["./form.ui", "-o", "./ui_form.py"], True)

There's no verbose anything, and exit() is called on success; so look at the directory to see results.

@Gregory-Gurmatroyid just checked on my machine:
Installed with pip in a conda environment:

PySide6==6.7.1
PySide6_Addons==6.7.1
PySide6_Essentials==6.7.1

and

PySide6==6.7.2
PySide6_Addons==6.7.2
PySide6_Essentials==6.7.2

both have pyside6-uic in the bin folder of the conda environment.

The content of the file is:

#!/Users/anonymous/miniconda3/envs/qt/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
from PySide6.scripts.pyside_tool import uic
if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(uic())

Excellent, thank you. Whoever else finds this from Google will be covered.
