Note that Python 3 and Qt5 support is now also available by installing the non-git version of this package --> puddletag.

Since the removal of pyqt4, puddletag git has a different branch with pyqt5 support now. Not sure if we should try to submit a new package or just update this one with a different branch. In any case I'll link a fixed PKGBUILD here https://gitlab.com/snippets/1790153

(I'm completely new to all this stuff, but I've tested PKGBUILD and puddletag now launches without errors at least in my case).

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.

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.

Here's the output when it fails:

TEST FAILED: /tmp/pacaurtmp-sysghost/puddletag-hg/pkg/puddletag-hg/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ does NOT support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH

You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from. The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

/tmp/pacaurtmp-sysghost/puddletag-hg/pkg/puddletag-hg/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains:

''

Here are some of your options for correcting the problem:

* You can choose a different installation directory, i.e., one that is
on PYTHONPATH or supports .pth files

* You can add the installation directory to the PYTHONPATH environment
variable. (It must then also be on PYTHONPATH whenever you run
Python and want to use the package(s) you are installing.)

* You can set up the installation directory to support ".pth" files by
using one of the approaches described here:

https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/easy_install.html#custom-installation-locations

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

@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
