Description Ben Webb 2020-01-24 23:26:52 UTC
Created attachment 1655172 [details]
pymol-sip.patch

Description of problem:
When PyMol is started on Fedora 31, the first thing it prints is

Qt not available, using GLUT/Tk interface

It then proceeds to use the older Tk interface, even though Qt is technically available.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pymol-2.3.0-4.fc31.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run 'pymol'

Actual results:
PyMol starts, using the Tk interface (two separate windows).

Expected results:
PyMol starts with the Qt interface (one window).

Additional info:
The failure is in /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/pymol/Qt/__init__.py where it tries to __import__("sip"). This does not work any more in F31 because there is no standalone sip package - it is now part of PyQt4. Patch to fix is attached.
