The PyQt4 Build System
New in version 4.10.
SIP v5 will not include an extensible build system, i.e it will not provide an
equivalent of SIP v4’s sipconfig module. Consequently a version of PyQt
built with SIP v5 will not provide an equivalent of the
pyqtconfig module. However there is still a need for certain
information to be shared between PyQt and other modules (such as QScintilla’s
Qsci module) that are built on top of it. Specifically it is
important that the same -t and -x command line flags are passed to the
sip executable to create, for example, the QScintilla bindings as were
passed to create the PyQt bindings.
Starting with v4.10, PyQt4.QtCore.PYQT_CONFIGURATION is a dict that
describes how PyQt was configured. At the moment it contains a single value
called sip_flags which is a string containing the appropriate -t and
-x flags.
The Old Build System
Deprecated since version 4.10.
The old PyQt4 build system is an extension of the SIP v4 build system and is
implemented by the pyqtconfig module. It can be used by
configuration scripts of other bindings that build on top of PyQt4 and takes
care of the details of the Qt installation.
Note that the pyqtconfig module is only created if you use
configure.py and not if you use configure-ng.py.
-
class PyQt4.pyqtconfig.Configuration(sub_cfg=None)
This class encapsulates configuration values that can be accessed as
instance objects. It is derived from sipconfig.Configuration.
Parameter: | sub_cfg – an optional list of sub-class configurations. It should only be used
by the __init__() method of a sub-class to append its own
dictionary of configuration values before passing the list to its
super-class. |
-
pyqt_bin_dir
- The name of the directory where the PyQt4 utilities are installed.
-
pyqt_config_args
- The command line passed to configure.py when PyQt4 was
configured.
-
pyqt_mod_dir
- The name of the directory where the PyQt4 Python package is
installed.
-
pyqt_modules
- A space separated string of installed PyQt4 modules. The Qt
module is not included.
-
pyqt_sip_dir
- The name of the base directory where PyQt4’s .sip files are
installed. Each module’s .sip files are installed in a
sub-directory with the same name as the module.
-
pyqt_sip_flags
- A space separated string of the sip command line options
used to build the PyQt4 modules. These should also be used when
building bindings that %Import any PyQt4 modules.
-
pyqt_version
- The PyQt4 version as a 3 part hexadecimal number (e.g. v4.0.1 is
represented as 0x040001).
-
pyqt_version_str
- The PyQt4 version as a string. For development snapshots it will start
with snapshot-.
-
qt_data_dir
- The value of QLibraryInfo::location(DataPath) for the Qt
installation.
-
qt_archdata_dir
- When building against Qt v5 this is the value of
QLibraryInfo::location(ArchDataPath). When building against Qt v4
it is the value of QLibraryInfo::location(DataPath).
-
qt_dir
- The root directory of the Qt installation (normally the directory that
contains the bin directory).
-
qt_edition
- The Qt edition.
-
qt_framework
- Set if Qt is built as a MacOS/X framework.
-
qt_inc_dir
- The value of QLibraryInfo::location(HeadersPath) for the Qt
installation.
-
qt_lib_dir
- The value of QLibraryInfo::location(LibrariesPath) for the Qt
installation.
-
qt_threaded
- Set if Qt is built with thread support (always set for PyQt4).
-
qt_version
- The Qt version as a 3 part hexadecimal number (e.g. v4.1.2 is
represented as 0x040102).
-
qt_winconfig
- Additional Windows specific configuration.
