Can't launch usdview on Windows

[johhnry]

Version: Gaffer 1.3.9.0-windows
Third-party tools: _
Third-party modules: _

Description

I can't use usdview because the python\pxr\Usdviewq\attributeValueEditorUI.py file has been generated by Qt from designer in C++ rather than Python.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download and extract Gaffer 1.3.9.0
2. In Powershell:

> cd gaffer-1.3.9.0-windows
> $env:PATH = "$pwd\bin;$pwd\Lib;$env:PATH"
> $env:PYTHONPATH = "$pwd\python"
> $env:GAFFER_ROOT = $pwd
> .\bin\usdview

Maybe it's a USD issue?

Thanks

I think it might be an issue with our dependencies build on Windows. It looks like at least a few, probably all, of the .ui files from the USD source are getting converted into c++ instead of Python. It looks correct on our Linux builds, so there's probably an issue with our build.

I'll look into it - I think we're going to be doing a dependency refresh soon so it can hopefully land in that update at the latest.

Heya,

Just to let you know, not a real roadblock :)

It seems a faulty pyside-uic install might be responsible for this. Read from here:
