Howto install python3-dbus package

Post by misterxcentos » 2017/04/10 21:03:18

Hi,
I would like to install backintime-1.1.18. It requires python3-dbus package. Which is supposed to be available in the EPEL repo (https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages ... /overview/).

I believe I have the EPEL repo correct installed:

Code: Select all

sudo yum repolist
(...)
repo id                                 repo name                                                                 status

However, yum lists me no python3-dbus package. What am I missing?
Any help appreciated.

Code: Select all

python34-dbus.x86_64                                           1.2.4-2.el7                                        epel 
That may require you to install a python34 set of packages from EPEL too.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Re: How to install PyQt4 package for python34

Post by misterxcentos » 2017/04/17 21:12:53

I'm continuing my journey installing the python based backintime. Installed python34, python34-libs, python34-dbus
Now it's missing PyQt4.

Code: Select all

ImportError: No module named 'PyQt4'
I have PyQt4 installed:

Code: Select all

Installed Packages: PyQt4.x86_64                                      4.10.1-13.el7
However, I think PyQt4 resides in python2 directories like "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/PyQt4". How do I put PyQt4 put in place for python34?
Thanks for any help.
