Arch Linux User Repository

To the user, who flagged this as out-of-date. The upstream project changed to a commercial license with version 5 and removed the source distribution of version 4 from PyPI and nuked the history of the Github repo.

I have no interest in maintaining a package of the commercial version, so I'm orphaning this now.

Interesting. It was previously built and installed w/ python 3.11, the failures started after my system updated to python 3.12. After removing the cached package build and rebuilding and installing, it runs now.

This builds and installs, but is not usable. All of the installed executables fail with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 397, in from_name
    return next(cls.discover(name=name))
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
StopIteration

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Other programs that try to import PySimpleGUI fail with:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PySimpleGUI'

Seems like upstream nuked their github repo and made the software non-free (starting from 5.0). The last free version is 4.60.5.

version 4.60.3 builds ok & imports fine too.

hi zhangshuoliang, i had a few small issues with the PKGBUILD - 'makepkg -si' finished with NO error - but pacman couldn't find it. I think i got it fixed - but i am not experienced at all in those things (this is in total my second post in the AUR...)

this one was working for me:

pkgname=('python-pysimplegui') _module='PySimpleGUI' pkgver=3.14.1 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc='The native GUI framework for perfectionists with deadlines.' arch=('any') license=('LGPLv3+') url='https://github.com/MikeTheWatchGuy/PySimpleGUI' depends=('tk' 'python') makedepends=('python-setuptools') checkdepends=('python-pytest-runner') source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/P/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI-${pkgver}.tar.gz) sha256sums=('f500317c8f818cef39cc482d51b7e7376be821b6531d4a2f04b7211bc74dadb3')

build() { cd "${srcdir}/${_module}-${pkgver}" python setup.py build }

package() { cd "${srcdir}/${_module}-${pkgver}" python setup.py install --root="${pkgdir}" --optimize=1 --skip-build }

i hope it might save you at least some minutes of time ;)
