New pyqt4 with sip is in AUR via sub-package names 'pyqt4-common' and 'python-pyqt4' / 'python2-pyqt4'

puddletag still builds but quits because no sip:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/puddletag", line 4, in <module> import('pkg_resources').run_script('puddletag==1.2.0', 'puddletag') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 664, in run_script self.require(requires)[0].run_script(script_name, ns) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 1444, in run_script exec(code, namespace, namespace) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/puddletag-1.2.0-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/puddletag", line 297, in <module> from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication, QPixmap, QSplashScreen, QIcon ImportError: No module named sip

Likely failing to build now because of the removal of pyqt4 https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2018-August/029331.html

The qt4 issue has been fixed here: https://github.com/keithgg/puddletag/issues/261 I've moved the package to puddletag-git <https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/puddletag-git> aswell now since it looks like he's moved off of mercurial.

Thanks. I haven't investigated if the bug can be fixed during the build or not, or whether it is an upstream problem. There's a post here as well http://puddletag.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=277 But I can't remember my password to comment and link back to the bug report here.

Doesn' start with the latest python2-pyqt4 version. See also: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45319?project=5&cat%5B0%5D=33&string=puddletag

I'm seeing the problem now as well, punching in a fix =)

Having the same problem thrakcattak had. I added the tow lines mentioned, and it worked.

@thrakcattak, I'm not seeing any python warnings or errors. Could you post what the output looks like when it doesn't build?

I had to add these two lines to the package() function because python complained about the install locations not being in $PYTHONPATH There is probably a better solution but this works for me: export PYTHONPATH="$pkgdir"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages mkdir -p $PYTHONPATH

Thank you for the contribution, EvanPurkhiser. I am now on Chakra, so I unfortunately cannot build this due to different dependency names. I will disown the package then - feel free to adopt it.
