I dunno man.
I gave up trying to build it in ubuntu which has sporadic python-qt support.
did anybody ever make a .deb version of the python client? (if that's even possible with how crazy the dependencies are)
as for the Linux python client,
i've tried and it works on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
every dependency you have to install is in my guide. you can install them from official Ubuntu repositories with apt, no magic is needed.
i'm not saying that having this many external dependencies is good because the available libraries can change in the future etc, but currently it's not a problem on Ubuntu and its derivatives.
as for the connection problems,
- i don't have problems with creating, joining games when i use the python client.
- i do have these when i use the java client aka the Dowlords client.
it's on the same operating system, with the same network and with firewall off, without manual port forwarding.
so there must be something that the python client does differently. maybe it's using UPnP, i don't know, maybe the java client is just buggy. i don't know, but there must be something there.
it's worth mentioning that i have IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the same time. maybe one of the clients is using the other address... i haven't checked this yet.
