pyside2-uic missing

[mottosso]

There might be something missing, or I'm doing it wrong. :(

Hm, could it be that we need to compile pyside-tools manually?

I can't say for sure, but it kind of looks like that is a pure-Python package. I'll give it a try.

[fredrikaverpil]

Some steps to actually be able to execute pyside2-uic, and this is on OS X:

1. Build the pyside-setup project (pyside2uic is part of the submodules).
2. Copy the built pyside2uic package from pyside-setup/pyside_package/pyside2uic into your local site-packages location.
3. Copy the binary from pyside_setup/pyside_install/py2.7-qt5.6.1-64bit-release/bin/pyside2-uic to your Python's bin directory (called "Scripts" on Windows).

Would it be possible to include these in the wheel too?

[fredrikaverpil]

Most likely. Right off the bat, I'm not sure how to do it. I would have to read up on wheel building.

[fredrikaverpil]

I've noticed that on my system I actually did get pyside2uic installed when pip installing the PySide2 wheel. It's just that the Compiler module isn't included. Can you verify this @mottosso ?

You can do a find / -name pyside2uic to perform a search.

[mottosso]

Yes, I got that too.

[fredrikaverpil]

@mottosso What OS is that on?
I'm seeing this on OS X.

[mottosso]

Ubuntu 14, from the wheel.

hello everyone. Sorry for my english ;(

I had a error when I try compile UI from pysideUIC on OS X:

Unknown Qt widget: QFont
Unknown Qt widget: QIcon
...
Unknown Qt widget: ....

I followed your recomendation...

Some steps to actually be able to execute pyside2-uic, and this is on OS X:
Build the pyside-setup project (pyside2uic is part of the submodules).
Copy the built pyside2uic package from pyside-setup/pyside_package/pyside2uic into your local site->packages location.
Copy the binary from pyside_setup/pyside_install/py2.7-qt5.6.1-64bit-release/bin/pyside2-uic to your >Python's bin directory (called "Scripts" on Windows).

Finally, remplace all pyside2uic installation from site-packagesdir for https://github.com/pyside/pyside2-tools and works for me.

Wow, the reported bug is still open/unresolved. 😞

Same here, I tried the workaround from davidherran, but still get the error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'compileUi'
