Background

  • I have used GTK+4 framework for a UI (my first time with GTK).
  • While developing, I had installed the framework (GObject, etc) on my Fedora using the dnf package manager, as instructed.

Problem

How do I include GTK+ 4 (imported as Gtk and Gdk from gi in my python scripts) as a dependency in the setup.cfg (or requirements.txt)?

Belief

subject to correction

Since pip can't install GTK+4 framework, I can never include GTK+4 as a pip dependency for my project. I must provide the link to install GTK+4 in some INSTALL.md instructions file. Won't this irritate the user? I can't simply tell them to pip install <my-project>.

  • Inspired by [this](https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/devguide/dev_environ.html#projects-with-pygobject-dependencies) cue, I'm leaving `pycairo` and `pygobject` as placeholders. Although, this is not the solution, since installation of GTK+4 system dependencies (referred in the OP) is a pre-requirement as stated at the top of that web-page. – Pradyparanjpe Sep 18 '22 at 20:00
  • I simply switched to PySide6 (Qt) instead. – Pradyparanjpe Oct 01 '22 at 04:24
