Unable to Run After installing

[trprecht]

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.2. I installed the python and ffmpeg/avconv stuff, then I downloaded the code and trying python3 main.py and get the following

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 8, in
from PIL.ImageQt import ImageQt
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PIL/ImageQt.py", line 26, in
from PyQt5.QtGui import QImage, qRgba, QPixmap
RuntimeError: the PyQt5.QtCore and PyQt4.QtCore modules both wrap the QObject class

Hmm it looks like you have a conflict because PyQt5 is installed. PIL wants to use the QT5 libraries instead. Are we importing a QT5 library somewhere?

Can you try using pip to install pillow (at least version 3.3.0) as a replacement for python3-pil? (apt install python3-pil; pip3 install pillow)

Fix for program importing PyQt4 when PyQt5 also installed #1942

(https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/master/CHANGES.rst#330-2016-07-01)

Stands to reason why we should probably look into packaging this with some dependencies, provided we workout the licensing.

That did the trick! I've been able to make several videos now. Thanks!
