Review my PySide (python 3) package

Hello, I noticed that PySide AUR packages still uses Python 2. Since I cant find their Python 3 counterpart, I might just use it as an opportunity to build my own packages.
This is my first time writing an AUR package, so please review them and give me your thoughts on my work so far.
- - - EDIT - - -
Thank you for trying out in my package, the latest version can be found at my repository:
https://bitbucket.org/arsooy/pyside_aur/
I'll try to answer any question as fast as I can. Please keep in mind that I cant login to ArchLinux forum regularly at this time, so I might be a little bit late (or maybe waaay too late) to respond if you have any issue. I usually push my changes to bitbucket before going to bed, so people should just check for new commits at my repository instead of posts from me in this thread.
Thank you.

First I'm sorry for the late reply, I'm one of those (rare) people who check their e-mails once every two week or so.

Hi.
Thanks very much for this effort, since I was waiting for a pyside python3 capable pkgbuild.
From hg repository, python-shibokengenerator and python-libshiboken compiled fine. But python-pyside package failed in make with the following error:

Can you help fixing it? Thnx again
As for your problem, I cannot re-produce this. I just remove my python-shiboken* + python-pyside* packages, rebuild them using AUR scripts from my bitbucket, and I manage to install them (yet again) successfully. Please provide more detail on your system.

Thnx again.
I see you are running as root, I dont know if this related to the problem.. maybe you should try running makepkg as normal user?
As for the files .. they are going to the right locations. It seems your system uses Python 2 modules (usr/lib/libpyside-py3-python2.7.so) when building pyside, this should not happen if python-shibokengenerator installed.
Are you sure you have python-shibokengenerator and python-libshiboken installed before building python-pyside? Most likely the cmake failed to detect your python 3 module. If you have python-shibokengenerator (which uses Python 3) installed it will tell cmake to use your python 3 interpreter.
As a comparision, this is how I install my pyside packages:
build python-shibokengenerator
build python-libshiboken
install python-shibokengenerator
install python-libshiboken
build python-pyside
install python-pyside
build python-pyside-tools
install python-pyside-tools
Thanks.

Python-mako package and python3

Hi everyone,
Mako 5 is compatible with both python 2 and python 3 but currently there is only one package, python-mako, which installs Mako for python2 only.
Shouldn't there be two packages, python2-mako and python-mako ?
Thanks,
Nathan

Done : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26755 : FS#26755 - Current python-mako package should be split into python2-mako and python-mako
Thanks you.

[SOLVED] Can't compile kyotocabinet-python AUR package after Python up

after today's upgrade to 3.3.0-1, Python lost access to the kyotocabinet package (kyotocabinet-python 1.22-1 from AUR). I tried to recompile it, but when I run makepkg, It just aborts with an error. Anyone knows what is going on?

Hello,
sadly I still haven't been able to recompile kyotocabinet-python with the new Python version (3.3.0-1)—it always gives the same error described in my first post. No new version has been released by Hatsuki Hirabayashi either, so I had to downgrade the system to Python 3.2.3-3.
I'd like to know if anyone else is currently able/unable to use kyotocabinet-python, so that I may contact the package author directly.
Any ideas?

I've searched the BBS, I've Googled, and I've looked at the GNOME Wiki.
jhbuild sanitycheck

jhbuild bootstrap
too - that said it built one thing (didn't say what), but did nothing to fix my problem.

Error trying to import python dbxml package

Hi,
I can see a similar thread fro windows (see: Python API setup problem on Windows but I'm having this problem with fedora15 (64bit) / Python2.7 / BDB XML 2.5.16:
I can build and install BDB XML without any problems following the standard documentation. I'm then trying to get the Python API to work.
I followed the instructions and the bsddb3.db library works fine:
#$ python
#>>> from bsddb3.db import *
#>>> print version()
(4, 8, 26)
#>>> exit()
the problem is trying to import dbxml:
#$ python
#>>> from bsddb3.db import *
#>>> from dbxml import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbxml.py", line 25, in <module>

File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbxml.py", line 24, in swig_import_helper
return _mod
UnboundLocalError: local variable '_mod' referenced before assignment
#>>>
And if I then try to reimport:
(following directly on from the above snippet)
#>>> from dbxml import *
Segmentation fault
... and python closes.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Guide me in making AUR for a python package

This is the package http://pypi.python.org/pypi/BitTorrent-bencode/5.0.8
- This python package is wrongly packaged. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2693 … ode-module
- Also, it contains a test directory. Is it a concern?
This is the AUR (thats wrong)

Guide me in making a perfect PKGBUILD.

What I do is get the sources and MD5s in the PKGBUILD, then makepkg -o. I'll manually compile the sources but not install them, and when I have a few one-liners that make the magic happen, I put it into the build() section. Then I'll rm -rf the $srcdir and actually try it with package { true; } as the package() function. If that works, I'll try some install lines (instead of true) and run find against the $pkgdir. If it all looks good, I'll make sure my dependencies are in check and pack it up.

[SOLVED] missing package [python-appindicator]

First of all I must thank you guys for the amazing distribution and your hard work.
I have tried to run https://gist.github.com/blazeeboy/6201049 but it gave me the following error
ImportError: No module named appindicator

Idea for package review system

I've set up a small proposal at http://arch.gooeylinux.org/ . I had been discussing with Xentac for a while about displaying random packages on the Arch front page. The devels would then encourage people to test them, and go along the lines of "if you can't program, or don't have lots of free time, help out this way". People want to help, but they need a "starting point", and the random packages give that.
The packages listed at the top of the linked page are just random, and don't really mean much. It's just an example.
Basically, my problem with the current system is that once a package makes it into -Current, there is no periodic review to make sure the packages are still working, up to date, etc. This would provide a network of people to review first, current packages, and second, new major changes that the devels want to implement, but don't want to risk without testing. It's all explained on the link. This network of testers could be a very valuable asset to the developers.
lavapunk helped out and tested 4 random packages I listed yesterday and found 3 packaging/build errors. I think this helps to prove the system is needed.
I'd love any criticism. I'm sure there's kinks in the idea.

contrasutra wrote:
OK, I was thinking of expanding the project with a "package feedback" system, where people would report WORKING packages (bugtracker is still the place for broken packages).
This would help me get an idea about who is participating, and it would give us some assurance packages are working well. Does this sound like a good idea? What type of system should I use?
Just a small update, from chatting on IRC, it seems as if a few more broken packages were found through the project testing (not by me).
this sounds like an excelent idea ... but what system to use i dont know exactly --- i would start with a mysql-db (maybe you can have an export from the original one??) and a php interface with user/account access ... but i'm proposing this, because this is the only solution i really can code to work and did, so maybe there are other better ones (tomcat? ...?)

Python is not an app, it's an operating programme, like Flash or Java, you won't get an icon. By the way, why do you want Python ? I have it and it makes a novelty Beer programme fill screen then empty when tilted ! Only bothered with it because I have a mate who thought his fruit based product was the best thing since sliced bread, worry about Python if you find something you really want that requires it to work !
Good Luck

It seems like there might have been a problem in linking. How can I fix this?

I don't get this behavior, but I have only pyqt installed. It appears that you have both pyside and pyqt installed - I thought they were supposed to be mutually exclusive. Does having both cause some lib conflict? You might try uninstalling both, then reinstalling just one of them.

[SOLVED]Matplotlib doesn't build (perhaps Python issue)

Hi there,
when trying to install `python2-matplotlib-noqt` I ve run into the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Googling suggests that the problem is incompatibility between matplotlib and python versions. So I updated python to version 3.4, but pkgbuid still pulls file from `/usr/lib/python2.7`,though this particular version is not explicitly set in `PKGBUILD`:

First of all, you should be clear about what's you are doing. You are trying to build python2-matplotlib-noqt from the AUR. Bugs in the AUR packages must be mentioned/discussed in the comment of that package. I don't see how this package disable the qt dependency besides nor requiring it, but I have not investigate the build process of matplotlib. What I would suggest is to try to build the official python-matplotlib package and make the modification yourself so that it does not depend of qt, if you know how to do it. If not, simply install the official package.

Python-numpy broken

Ok, my first pacman upgrade error ever I haven't been able to solve by a search in this forum, I'm afraid it might not be so straight forward.
Last night doing a pacman -Syu gave me an error that said gcc-fortran was missing, found this http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45642 thread and made a change in the PKGBUILD dependecy list from "gcc-fortran" to "gcc-libs". After that pacman -Su worked.
However, today trying to work on a school project requiring python-numpy I got this error while trying to run my code:
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/linalg/linalg.py", line 25, in <module>
from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite
ImportError: libgfortran.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
A quick look in /usr/lib/ showed no libgfortran.so.2 file but a libgfortran.so.3 file. Hoping for a quick fix so I could continue my work I made a symlink libgfortran.so.2 -> libgfortran.so.3. But it gave me this error:
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/linalg/linalg.py", line 25, in <module>
from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite
ImportError: /usr/lib/libblas.so.3: undefined symbol: scabs1_
I would guess that the python-numpy package isn't updated to use the new fortran libs? If anyone have any idea how to fix this I would be greatful.

Ok, I finally had time to fix this, and learned a bit about Arch/ABS too
For inexperienced users with the same problem as me this is what i did:
1. Installed ABS and ran 'abs' as root (more info here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS … ild_System )
2. Copied the files in /var/abs/extra/science/blas/ to a folder in my ~
3. nano Makefile -> add 'scabs1.o' to the end of the OBJS list, save & quit. (info from here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9905?pro … &pagenum=2 )
4. md5sum Makefile -> replace old md5 in PKGBUILD, save & quit.
5. as user, 'makepkg'
6. as root, pacman -U blas-19980702-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Now it seems to work, thanks for the help!

Mpd and python-mpd problem utf8

Hi,
i've just update the new mpd and python mpd package, so there is a problem with utf8 directory. Now it can not display my covers.

GError: Séquence d'octets non valide en entrée du convertisseur

I'm having the same output whenever I try to view an artists's albums in the collection and the album title contains non strictly ascii characters (which happens pretty often, as I am not a native english speaker). The problem is that the albums do not appear in the collection ! I can still access them by the filesystem view, but then the songs are sorted alphabetically, not by track number.
This problem appeared with Sonata 1.5.

Upgrade Python to 2.7 in Sparc Solaris 11.2

Hi,
Can anyone suggest a way to upgrade the Python from 2.6.8 in my Sparc Solaris 11.2 to 2.7+?

Python 2.7 is available since Solaris 11. You have just to install the runtime/python-27 package.
For information, this is not an upgrade but a parallel installation.

Review my PySide (python 3) package
