Dearpygui fails to install on Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi about leads HOT 12 CLOSED

Dearpygui fails to install through pip on Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi.

python3.11 -m pip install dearpygui
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement dearpygui
ERROR: No matching distribution found for dearpygui

According to Dearpygui repo info, Raspberry Pi rendering API OpenGL ES only supports versions up to v1.1 while other platforms support v1.10.1. Although we're using Ubuntu 22 LTS instead of Raspberry Pi OS, we do not know the rendering API of the system. Therefore, we now have two approaches to solve this issue.

Install from wheels

We can try wheels v1.1 (OpenGL ES) for Raspberry Pi 4 and v1.10.1 (OpenGL 3) for Linux to manually install.

Migrate to another GUI framework

If the approach above does not work, we will have to migrate our project to another GUI framework such as PyQT. So far its impact has not been that large. We only have to alter modules leads_dashboard and leads_vec.

Tkinter would probably be the choice.

We're migrating this project to Tkinter.

COMMIT cbcc4c4
Migration completed for the dashboard. The layout needs further follow-up.

from leads.

Tkinter sucks too badly in layouts. We're now migrating to PySimpleGUI. It's necessary to validate its capability on Raspberry Pi.

COMMIT 6092c1a
Dashboard has now migrated to PySimpleGUI.

_tkinter.TclError: bad attribute "-toolwindow": must be -alpha, -topmost, -zoommed, -fullscreen, or -type

This error only appears on Raspberry Pi. I will try to find out what makes it differ from Windows. If it is not solvable, I'm going to migrate the whole project to local-web-based.

This issue has been posted in PySimpleGUI official repository: PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI#6632.
Also mentioned in #17.

from leads.

To be honest I'm having enough with these local GUI libraries. I'm starting to try vanilla JS.

from leads.

We are very likely to migrate to FastAPI (backend) + Vanilla JS (frontend).

Current Plan

Onboard dashboard: PySimpleGUI
Remote server: FastAPI (backend) + React (frontend)

I'll later include the reason behind this decision.

from leads.

This issue is now closed since the program (VERSION 0.1.4 COMMIT 4505f90) can now run on Raspberry Pi. Any further corresponding problems will be posted as separate issues.
