[PyQt] PyQt on Sailfish OS

[Dietmar Schwertberger]

Hi!

Is anyone successfully using PyQt (GPL) on a recent version of Sailfish OS?
I can't build it in the mersdk build engine.
(Sailfish OS Qt version is 5.2.2.)

E.g. with sip 4.16.5 or 4.15.5 and PyQt 5.2.1 I get

  /home/mersdk/PyQt-gpl-5.2.1/QtWidgets/sipQtWidgetsQGraphicsLayout.cpp: 
In member function 'virtual void 
sipQGraphicsLayout::getContentsMargins(qreal*, qreal*, qreal*, qreal*) 
const':
  /home/mersdk/PyQt-gpl-5.2.1/QtWidgets/sipQtWidgetsQGraphicsLayout.cpp:241:75: error: cannot convert 'qreal* {aka float*}' to 'double*' for argument '5' to 'void sipVH_QtWidgets_116(sip_gilstate_t, sipVirtErrorHandlerFunc, sipSimpleWrapper*, PyObject*, double*, double*, double*, double*)'


And with sip 4.16.5 and PyQt 5.4

  /home/mersdk/PyQt-gpl-5.4/QtCore/sipQtCoreQLocale.cpp:2289:39: error: 
'Akoose' is not a member of 'QLocale'
  /home/mersdk/PyQt-gpl-5.4/QtCore/sipQtCoreQLocale.cpp:2623:39: error:

  /home/mersdk/PyQt-gpl-5.4/QtCore/sipQtCoreQLocale.cpp:2880:58: error: 
'StandardMoroccanTamazight' is not a member of 'QLocale'

After removing these entries from the sipQtCoreQLocale.cpp:
  /home/mersdk/PyQt-gpl-5.4/sip/QtCore/qstorageinfo.sip:34:26: fatal 
error: qstorageinfo.h: No such file or directory

With the latest sip and PyQt snapshots I also get the messages on Locale 
and qstorageinfo. At that point I stopped trying...
