A warning to anyone who intends to use the Sony AI Camera IMX500 in a Raspberry Pi OS Lite environment:
The only available Python interface for the IMX500 is picamera2. (See: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... amera.html )
Unfortunately, picamera2 has a fatal and unavoidable error for Raspberry Pi OS Lite. The picamera2 GitHub page (see: https://github.com/raspberrypi/picamera2) includes some instructions for installing it "without GUI dependencies" such as OpenGL and Qt, but the instructions are just flat-out wrong: the install process attempts to install PyQt5 and then fails.
This issue was raised in 2023 (see: https://github.com/raspberrypi/picamera2/issues/822 ) and has not been addressed for over a year, with no indication of any intent to do so. It appears that this issue is not a priority for the developer and it is unlikely to be resolved any time soon.
