Running multiranger_pointcloud.py example

I'm having problems to run multiranger_pointcloud.py example, Do I need to use an specific version of python or vispy?
I'm getting this error: AttributeError: 'CanvasBackend' object has no attribute 'setParent'
If I comment these 2 lines, I'm able to run the script but I cannot visualize the datapoints:
#self.canvas.native.setParent(self)
#self.setCentralWidget(self.canvas.native)
Do you any idea on what can be the problem and how can I fix it?

Yes this sound like a version issue. Are you running the example with python2 or python3? I'm not sure it works with python2.

I'm using python 3.5.2. Do I need an specific version for vispy?

I'm running python 3.7.5 and it works for me but after smaller investigation it seams to be a Qt issue. They broke the API at some point but looks fixed now. Easiest solution is probably to update everything rather then downgrading Qt.

I'm using ubuntu right now. When you say update everything, do you mean run "app-get update" and install python 3.7.5?

You could try "app-get update" but it depends on what Ubuntu version (e.g. 19.04) you are on. Possible, at the version you have, 3.5.2 might be the latest.

Hallo,
I have the same Problem:
AttributeError: 'CanvasBackend' object has no attribute 'seParent'
You said its a Problem with the Verison of Python. I run it on a rasberry and have python 2.7.16 and
python 3.7.3. How can i know on wich version the programm runs? Or simply how can I solve the problem?
Thanks a lot

I think it is more likely that it is related to vispy rather than python, and that different python versions may not use the same version of vispy.
if you run
you can see which version you use of python.
Is there any more information in the error message that you can share? A callstack?

if I run:
it says: Python 2.7.16
and if i run :
it says: Python 3.7.3
But the Idel Shell says 3.7.3 so I think its not a version problem, too.
Here is the full message of Idle:

The code is the example from the crazyflie-lib-python-master "multiranger_pointcloud"
Thanks for helping!
