Description

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Linux-5.0.0-32-generic-x86_64-with-debian-buster-sid
ChimeraX Version: 1.1 (2020-09-09 22:22:27 UTC)
Description
your helloworld and qtpy examples from the developers page install successfully but report 'missing bundle_api in bundle' when we try to run hello at the command line or click on the tutorial(Qt) button on the Tools/General menu created by the code.  I tested this on several machines and it doesn't seem to be related to versions or dependencies

Hi Greg,

This line in both "devel build" outputs is suspicious:

package init file 'src/init.py' not found (or not a regular file)

What does /home/microcarbon/Desktop/chimerax_hello/src/init.py look like? It should look like this: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/tutorials/tutorial_command.html#src-init-py

Similarly, /home/microcarbon/Desktop/chimerax_qtpy/src/initpy should look like this: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/tutorials/tutorial_tool_qt.html#src-init-py

Hi Eric

Yes that code on the tutorial site was used to create them in my editor (I typically use Komodo Edit or VScode).  I'll double check the file properties in those and recompile.

 Hi Greg,
         This line in both "devel build" outputs is suspicious:

 package init file 'src/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular file)

 What does /home/microcarbon/Desktop/chimerax_hello/src/__init__.py look
 like?  It should look like this:
 https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/tutorials/tutorial_command.html
 #src-init-py

 Similarly, /home/microcarbon/Desktop/chimerax_qtpy/src/__init__py should
 look like this:
 https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/tutorials/tutorial_tool_qt.html
 #src-init-py

Hi again Eric

I copied it again as plain text and checked permissions and set them as executable.  The problem persists

Ah, the file name is supposed to be __init__.py -- that's *two* underscores before and after "init".

Hi Eric

Thanks for helping me so quickly. I probably need some new glasses.  I am setting up some class assignments for an undergrad bioinformatics class and I typically start them out exploring the PDB with your tools but then later in the course I have them practice python.  Your software is a great training ground for all of us

Thanks again

 Ah, the file name is supposed to be __init__.py -- that's *two*
 underscores before and after "init".

Glad I could help. If there's anything of general utility we can do to make your class preparation or teaching easier, don't be shy to make suggestions. :-)

Hi Eric

Your recent expansions to the chimerax developer site are just wonderful.  My class typically has molecular biology students who have never coded and also alot older CS students looking to pick up an elective who haven't seem biology since high school.  So I pair them together on a task developing scripts to do something novel in chimerax.

One question...do folks ever use python kivy ui with chimerax or does it always require pyqt?  I really liked the kivy format when it came out but have noticed it has declined in usage lately. I have noticed kivy ui's can be unstable on some linux systems whereas older ui's are not.  pyqt seems more like a step back towards ui like perl-tk and python tkinter.

What is the best gui for python and chimerax projects in your opinion?

Hi Greg,

Kivy and Qt are not interoperable, so for coding within ChimeraX you are stuck with Qt (or HTML). When originally considering what GUI framework to use for ChimeraX, we needed a Python-available cross-platform framework with enough momentum behind it so that it wouldn't quickly become unsupported, so we only seriously considered WxPython and Qt. WxPython was nice but basically one had one main developer behind it so we felt it was too risky and went with Qt.
So I don't know that I'm actually an expert on what the best GUI toolkit is, since our requirements eliminated many without serious consideration (and I don't think kivy was available at the time). From what I read on the web, it seems that kivy is good from mobile deployment and Qt is better for desktop deployment since the latter presents a native look and feel and is more of an application framework. Qt is huge though. That size does buy you a few things -- I know we love the capabilities the embedded browser-like widget gives us.
