P2: Important Description
On Ubuntu 22.04 with python 3.10.12, and perhaps other versions, pyside6-deploy 6.7.1 cannot find site-packages when compiling simple scripts.
wwitzke@wwitzke-XPS-15-9520:~/workspace/pdw-provisioning-packages-installer/packages/eloadgenerator $ pyside6-deploy eloadgenerator.py
You are not using a virtual environment. pyside6-deploy needs to install a few Python packages for deployment to work seamlessly.
Proceed? [Y/n]y
WARNING:root:[DEPLOY] Key icon does not exist
Unable to find site-packages. Exiting ...
In previous versions, pyside6-deploy has worked. I have tried this with three different computers, and it fails on all of them with 6.7.1.
Looking into it further, I see that the code that generates this error is in ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/PySide6/scripts/deploy_lib/dependency_util.py:
def get_qt_libs_dir(self): """ Finds the path to the Qt libs directory inside PySide6 package installation """ for possible_site_package in site.getsitepackages(): if possible_site_package.endswith("site-packages"): self.pyside_install_dir = Path(possible_site_package) / "PySide6" if not self.pyside_install_dir: print("Unable to find site-packages. Exiting ...") sys.exit(-1) if sys.platform == "win32": return self.pyside_install_dir return self.pyside_install_dir / "Qt" / "lib" # for linux and macOS
However, when running site.getsitepackages() in python3, only the following results are given:
wwitzke@wwitzke-XPS-15-9520:~ $ python3 Python 3.10.12 (main, Nov 20 2023, 15:14:05) [GCC 11.4.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import site >>> site.getsitepackages() ['/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages'] >>>
However,
wwitzke@wwitzke-XPS-15-9520:~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages $ ls -aFl total 48 drwxrwxr-x 12 wwitzke wwitzke 4096 Jun 13 11:53 ./ drwxrwxr-x 3 wwitzke wwitzke 4096 Jun 13 09:45 ../ drwxrwxr-x 2 wwitzke wwitzke 4096 Jun 13 11:51 pyserial-3.5.dist-info/ drwxrwxr-x 10 wwitzke wwitzke 4096 Jun 13 11:53 PySide6/ drwxrwxr-x 2 wwitzke wwitzke 4096 Jun 13 11:53 PySide6-6.7.1.dist-info/ drwxrwxr-x 2 wwitzke wwitzke 4096 Jun 13 11:53 PySide6_Addons-6.7.1.dist-info/ drwxrwxr-x 2 wwitzke wwitzke 4096 Jun 13 11:53 PySide6_Essentials-6.7.1.dist-info/ drwxrwxr-x 6 wwitzke wwitzke 4096 Jun 13 11:51 serial/ drwxrwxr-x 3 wwitzke wwitzke 4096 Jun 13 11:53 shiboken6/ drwxrwxr-x 2 wwitzke wwitzke 4096 Jun 13 11:53 shiboken6-6.7.1.dist-info/
I could install them as root, but that puts them at /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/, which specifically will not be found by the code snippit I have included, as it filters ONLY for site-packages, not dist-packages.
