Re: [ferret_users] PyFerret in Mac OSX Catalina



I have not tested at all with this brand-new version of Mac OS X.  Many third-party vendors (including Adobe) are recommending holding off on upgrading as their software does not yet work under Catalina.  So I am not surprised to hear there are problems with PyQt (probably Qt) and Catalina.

That being said, the message you show arises when both the "import PyQt5" and "import PyQt4" python commands fail.  I doubt it will help, but attempting to run these import commands might give more information about the problem.  So something like the following commands ("$" prompt are shell commands, ">>>" prompt are python commands, replace "FERRET" with whatever environment name you used for PyFerret):
    $ conda activate FERRET
    $ python3
    >>> import PyQt5
    >>> exit()

Kind regards,
Karl

Dear ferreters,

I upgraded my Mac and found I need to reinstall miniconda and pyferret. But after that, the figure window cannot be opened with the following message:

grdelWindowCreate: error when calling createWindow in pyferret.graphbind: The PQ viewers requires PyQt5 or PyQt4

I checked that pyqt5 is installed. Any solution for that?

Thanks,
Tony
