ImportError: No module named Qsci while running ninja-ide

Question

I am trying to install and run ninja-ide http://ninja-ide.org/home/

However when I try to run ninja-ide I am facing this error

ImportError: No module named Qsci

I have been trying to install ninja-ide whole night.

I tried everything installing from source, installing using apt-get dependencies mentioned on various blogs.

I installed everything. SIP, PyQt4, Qscintilla, all kinds of dependencies.

I made symlinks for python installation folder in /usr/local/include/python2.7 as python was installed in /usr/include/python2.7.

I even copied the Qsci folder from /usr/include/qt4 to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4 and /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4.

I am now tired of installing everything. I still can't figure out why it gives me the

ImportError: No module named Qsci

I have been scouring Google and Stack Overflow the whole night.

Answer 1

You need to install: python-qscintilla2

Also, the version that requires that, is the version still on development, not an official release.
