QTPY-GET-DEPENDENCIES(1)

👑 QTPY-GET-DEPENDENCIES 👑

the qtpy-get-dependencies girlies know 💅 — okay so this is a User Commands page from the Debian manual, and bestie, it's about figuring out which Debian packages your QtPy-using thing actually needs. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

qtpy-get-dependencies — get Debian package dependencies for qtpy modules 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

qtpy-get-dependencies [-h] [--pyqt5 | --pyqt6 | --pyside6] [--version]
module [module ...]

List Debian package dependencies for a set of QtPy modules

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — any package that uses qtpy needs a Python Qt library sitting behind it, like, it literally cannot function without one. That's the whole vibe.

This script takes a list of QtPy modules (and yes, you can get that list by, for example, searching a package's source files for the string "from qtpy import" — that's the move 👑), and it hands you back a list of Debian packages that your package needs. And not just any list — it's ready to be dropped straight into the binary Depends field of the package's debian/control file. Slay. No cap. 🎀

If you wanna know how qtpy decides which backend to use (the drama of it all), go read the file /usr/share/doc/python3-qtpy/README.Debian — it's got the full story 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips out. exit, stage left 🚪✨
• --pyqt5 — gives you the PyQt5 dependencies. This one's the default, iykyk 👑
• --pyqt6 — gives you the PyQt6 dependencies 🌈
• --pyside6 — gives you the PySide 6 dependencies 🧚
• --version — shows the program's version number and exits. cute little flex 💖
• module — Name of qtpy module imported (with or without leading qtpy.) 🌸

💀 heads up bestie: that last one isn't optional-optional — it's a positional argument and the synopsis says module [module ...], so you can pass one or a whole squad of them. Not me forgetting to pass any and getting yelled at 🙈

okay that's the whole page!! go forth and declare your dependencies, main character 💜

mwah 💋 this lil manual page is brought to you by Debian, dated December 2024 — version vibes and source realness included, periodt ✨🫶
