[chimerax-users] Dependency trouble

Hello,

Regular expressions are QRegularExpression in Qt.QtCore now. I think there's a ticket that listed some of the differences between Qt5 and Qt6, but I can't seem to find it.

I don't use pycharm, so I'm not sure if there is a solution for that. Also not sure about adding PyQt5 to the dependencies.

Best,

Tony

Hi again,
I am indeed running a daily build on that computer.
I tried your suggestion and it works partially but there are some issues.
For instance I am getting:
cannot import name 'QRegExp' from 'Qt.QtCore'

And I am also not sure how to set this up with pycharm as there is no module actually named just Qt. Which means I am getting red squiggles all over and it breaks the autocomplete.
I am also curious as to why adding PyQt5 to the dependencies doesn't work.

Is the other computer running a ChimeraX daily build? They are looking to switch to PyQt6 in one of the next versions. A ChimeraX developer would have more details on that.

Try changing your PyQt5 imports to just "Qt" (e.g. from Qt.QtWidgets import QPushButton). ChimeraX uses a shim to make things less dependent on the version of the Python Qt wrapper.

Best,

Tony

Hi,
I was attempting to install my chimerax bundle on a different computer and encountered the error:
No module named 'PyQt5'

So I added this line to the bundle_info.xml under the Dependencies tag:
<Dependency name="PyQt5"/>

But I still get the same error?
