Incompatabilities between PySide6 and colormaps

[wxguy]

I have a script that uses both GUI and the command line. When I use the script to be used as only the command line, it works without an issue. However, when invoking GUI which is based on PySide6, it produces the following error.

import colormaps as cmaps
  File "shibokensupport/signature/loader.py", line 61, in feature_imported
  File "shibokensupport/feature.py", line 135, in feature_imported
AttributeError: 'Cmaps' object has no attribute '__name__'

Not able to figure out what went wrong. Can you please help me out on this...

@wxguy
I am not aware of this script that you are using.

In continuation of the above conversation, this is what I get when I install the colormaps package with pip:

pip install colormaps

This may be useful for debugging purposes. I did a pip install within the conda environment.

@wxguy I am still unable to replicate your problem. I suggest you create a new environment using conda and install only PySide6 and then colormaps using pip. And if there is a problem then report it back. I can look into it.

@wxguy I am still unable to replicate your problem. I suggest you create a new environment using conda and install only PySide6 and then colormaps using pip. And if there is a problem then report it back. I can look into it.

This is what I exactly did so. Will forward my environment file shortly. Suggest you to include your package as part of conda distribution. Since you already has pypi, I am sure that it won't take much time.

Here is the content of my environment.yml file:-

# conda env create -f environment.yml  # Create env
# conda env remove -n cmap_test  # Remove env
name: cmap_test
channels:
  - conda-forge
dependencies:
  - python=3.11  
  - conda-forge::libpython-static 
  - conda-forge::wrf-python
  - conda-forge::netcdf4
  - conda-forge::cartopy
  - conda-forge::imageio
  - conda-forge::nuitka
  - conda-forge::ordered-set
  - conda-forge::wrapt
  - conda-forge::patchelf
  - conda-forge::pip
  - conda-forge::metpy
  - conda-forge::pyside6
  - conda-forge::h5py
  - conda-forge::psutil
  - conda-forge::py-cpuinfo
  - conda-forge::distro
  - conda-forge::requests
  - conda-forge::f90nml
  - conda-forge::qtawesome
  - conda-forge::loguru
  - pip:
    - pyinstaller
    - pyqtdarktheme
    - constants

Once env is installed and activated using conda activate cmap_test, I did:-

pip install colormaps

Hopefully, you can reproduce the error on your side.

@wxguy Thank you for the environment.yml file. I am able to reproduce the warnings. It seems like it is not a colormaps problem but rather strict standards of pip itself. As these are mere warnings you can ignore these. I am working on the workflow for conda-forge and it should be available in the upcoming weeks.

Or if you want to avoid these warnings you can install PySide6 using pip install PySide6.

I am closing this is not related to the package.
