RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

Additional info:

The problem:
- This only happens when PyQt4 is installed.
- On line 1962, loader is instantiated by importer.find_module. For "PyQt4.uic.pyuic", importer.find_module returns None, which then causes the AttributeError.
- File /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/pyuic.py is a symlink to /usr/bin/pyuic4, which lives in PyQt4-devel.
- If PyQt4-devel is not installed, pyuic.py is unimportable, which makes pydoc fail.

IMO this is a problem in packaging of PyQt4, since pyuic.py file should be in PyQt4-devel package, not in the main PyQt4 package where it's unusable. I'll open a bug for PyQt4.

Fixed in PyQt4 => moving to MODIFIED.

Root cause has been solved by bz#1026209.

Now, traceback doesn't occur if PyQt4-devel is not installed:

# rpm -qa | grep PyQt4
PyQt4-dbus-4.10.1-12.el7.noarch
PyQt4-4.10.1-12.el7.x86_64

# pydoc -k wraps
ldap.functions - functions.py - wraps functions of module _ldap
ldap.ldapobject - ldapobject.py - wraps class _ldap.LDAPObject
