As per https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/sip/introduction.html we should go with a project toml file, instead of the sipdistutils hack hack. Currently investigating. Installing with pip should work.

Thanks for all the work on this package! Any idea when this could happen?
pip installation, unfortunately, does not work and the way around it is to install via apt-get: apt-get install -y python3-poppler-qt5, but this, in turn, does not support python3.8

I started some work on this in the sip5 branch of my fork:
https://github.com/mitya57/python-poppler-qt5/commits/sip5

So far it's very raw, so I don't even create a draft pull request.

What is missing:

  • Does not use pkg-config, has hardcoded include path.
  • version.sip is hard-coded, not generated.
  • Does not set POPPLER_VX_Y_Z version tag.

I will try to finish when I have more time, or feel free to start from where I stopped.

  • 👍1
