Phonon error on Linux
-
I've been trying to get PyQt4 to work with Linux (specifically Ubuntu 14.04). I have one copy of Ubuntu running in a virtual machine and another on a laptop. I've had two separate problems.
Problem 1:
The copy of PyQt4 on the laptop can't use Phonon at all. Just running
@from PyQt4.phonon import Phonon@
generates ImportError: "No module named phonon"And after much searching I'm not sure how to fix this. Maybe by installing some other kind of Phonon backend and adding it to PYTHONPATH or something?
Problem 2:
Strangely, the virtual machine copy of PyQt4 (installed using the exact same procedure, but with a slightly older version of Ubuntu, 13.10) behaves differently. On the virtual machine, I can import Phonon fine, but I trying to build the program into an executable via cx_Freeze gives this error:
ImportError: No module named 'PyQt4.uic.port_v3.proxy_base'
Supposedly this is fixable by forcing cx_Freeze to include 'sip' in the build, but that doesn't work.
Maybe this is related: I did get this error when running "make install" on PyQt4 but apparently that's normal:
strip:home/USERNAME/.pyenv/versions/2.7.8/bin/pyuic4: File format not recognizedA note on my PyQt4 installation: I've installed the default SIP and PyQt4 by downloading the tar files, extracting them, and configuring and making and installing them. I have added PyQt to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Any advice on solving either or both of these two problems would be appreciated.
