I recently wrote a small pyqt(python 3 and pyqt5) application for my biology class to simulate alleles fixation. I tried setuptools and indeed did produce a tarball package. However, I am not able to add PyQt5 as a dependency to my package possibly because it is no longer a package in PyPI. Consequently, when I install the program on another Linux PC, the program simply cannot execute because it is missing PyQt5 module. I tried this to add an official link in setup.py but it does not work either.
dependency_links = ['https://github.com/baoboa/pyqt5'],
I installed pyqt binding from my distribution's official repository so I thought about to write a dependencies resolver script but since most Linux distributions have different package managers and package names, it will not be very feasible.
Is there a way to get around this?
Thank you! Link to the app: https://github.com/lorix-lpan/alleles-fixation
Installed python3-devel, python3-qt5, python3-setuptools, python3-sip (PCLinuxOS.)
Similar packages are available with the latest Fedora, Debian + the Debian clones (Ubuntu etc.)
( $ sudo apt-get install python3-all-dev pyqt5-dev python3-pyqt5 python3-setuptools python3-sip )
And : $ cd alleles-fixation/ && python3 setup.py build : No errors.
