dependencies about icepapcms HOT 8 CLOSED

Since we discussed it for pyIcePAP, I add here as a reminder that it is possible to include a requirements file could be helpful. It could especially help when installing through pip since dependencies can then be installed automatically.
pip freeze > requirements.txt can be a good base and you can clean it before commiting it. Some explanatation are given in https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#requirements-files

Hello,
I see that pymysql2 make it not possible to use python3 for icepapcms.
However, pyicepap need python3.5 to install so IcepapCMS can not be installed currently.
Since python2 support will stop soon, that's probably why pyicepap makes python3 mandatory.

Thanks to check it!

On the pyIcePAP project we created a branch: https://github.com/ALBA-Synchrotron/pyIcePAP/tree/support-2.9.x, to give support to IcepapCMS and IcepapOSC. You can have on your system the pyIcePAP library (python2) for the IcepapCMS and IcepapOSC and icepap library(python3) for new developments.

We must migrate both applications to python 3 and qt5 ASAP.

Hi Roberto,
I see that pyqt4 package does not seem do exist anymore in main pip or conda repo.
I wanted to know if it's worth taking time to install all this by hand or if a new version of icepapcms will arrive soon and make all this not relevant?

Hi @PhilLAL,

I would like to start the new version design before Xmas, I hope to have a new version before summer 2020. If you can start the migration to pyqt5 and python3 will be great, any help is welcome.

Hi @rhomspuron
since python2 support will be stopped january 1st 2020, how do you plan to use IcepapCMS between january and new version?
I am especially interested if you have any solution to install icepapcms today, whatever the python version, just to be able to install new version on new computers.
Thanks

Hi @PhilLAL,

We use Debian 9, it has pyqt4 and python 2 and it has support up to 2022. For that reason the migration is not our first priority.

You can create a docker with it if you use another OS, or create a conda environment and compile pyqt4.

Hi @PhilLAL,

A new version for python 3 and PyQt 5 is ready. I will close this issue.
