Re: python version, desktop mode (pgAdmin4)

OK, here's for a rebound.
Now running ubuntu 16.04.
I pulled the pgadmin4 source from git and managed to make qmake use python3
en qt5 (the latter using qmake -qt=qt5 after installing some dependencies)
But I get an error about webenginewidgets:
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets

But that seems inevitable, because it appears that webenginewidgets is not
available for Dbian/Ubuntu.
See this bug for more info on that:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtbase-opensource-src/+bug/1579265

Accordingly, it seems impossible to build the executable because QWebView
is missing.
The error:
$ make
g++ -c -m64 -pipe -I/home/wbloos/.virtualenvs/pgadmin4/include/python3.5m
-I/home/wbloos/.virtualenvs/pgadmin4/include/python3.5m -O2 -Wall -W

compilation terminated.
Makefile:272: recipe for target 'pgAdmin4.o' failed

Is there a way to run pgAdmin4 as a desktop app (outside of the browser),
preferably using dependencies from the regular repositories, on Ubuntu?

Cheers,
