When I try installing the PyQt5 on Windows using the command
python configure.py
I get this error:
Error: Make sure you have a working Qt qmake on your PATH.
I got the pyQt5 from PyQt5 Download.
How can I install PyQt5?
Update:
I installed Qt 5.0.2 for Windows 64-bit (VS 2012, 500 MB) from the Qt Download page and now I have this error:

Mainly I use the following command under the cmd
pip install pyqt5
And it works with no problem!
The easiest way to install PyQt is to just use the installer (Link in your answer, step #5). If you install python 3.3, the installer will add all of the PyQt5 extras to that python installation automatically. You won't need to do any compiling (none of: nmake, nmake install, python configure).
All of the build options are available for if you need a custom install (for instance, using a different version of python, where there isn't an installer provided by riverbank computing).
If you do need to compile your own version of PyQt5, the steps (as you have found) are here, but assume you have python and a compiler installed and in your path. The installed and in your path have been where you have been running into trouble it seems. I'd recommend using the installer version, but you need to install python 3.3 first.
First try this in your Windows cmd window:
pip3 install pyqt5
If that is successful, it will look something like this:
C:\Windows\System32>pip3 install pyqt5

If that did not work, you might try this link from SourceForge.
PyQt5 .exe installers for Windows
How to find the installer that's right for you?
First, determine what version of Python you have and whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit Python.
Next, open one of the directories. I'm on Python 3.5 64-bit so I'm looking for a .exe with those specs. When you open a directory on SourceForge, you will see some directories with ONLY .zip or .tar.gz. That's not what you're looking for. A good indication of which directory you should click is given by the "Downloads/Week" column.
I'll open the PyQt-5.6 directory in my case.
Here we notice some .exe files:
PyQt-5.6
|_PyQt5-5.6-gpl-Py3.5-Qt5.6.0-x32-2.exe
|_PyQt5-5.6-gpl-Py3.5-Qt5.6.0-x64-2.exe
|_PyQt5_gpl-5.6.zip
|_PyQt5_gpl-5.6.tar.gz
I know these are Python 3.5 by Py3.5 in the file name. I am also looking for the 64-bit version so I'll download PyQt5-5.6-gpl-Py3.5-Qt5.6.0-x64-2.exe. Final answer!
Note: if you try to install a version that's not compatible with your system, a dialog box will appear immediately after running the .exe. That's an indication that you've chosen the wrong one. I'm not trying to sound like a dbag... I did that several times!
To test a successful install, in your Python interpreter, try to import:
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
I found a partial solution...
Steps to install pyQt5 (with VS 2012) on Windows:
1) Install the binary file Qt 5.0.2 for Windows 64-bit (VS 2012, 500 MB) from here.
2) Get sip-4.14.7 (development snapshot) from here.
3) Extract the file and open the Developer Command Prompt for VS2012.
4) Execute these commands (in sip folder):
python configure.py
nmake
nmake install
5) Get the pyQt5 from here.
6) Extract the file and open the VS2012 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt.
7) Execute these commands:
python configure.py
UPDATE: When execute these commands below is not working:
nmake
nmake install
Solution: I will try use pyQt4 with Qt5... because pyQt5 is in development and doesn't have support/documentation yet.
I'm new to both Python and PyQt5. I tried to use pip, but I was having problems with it using a Windows machine. If you have a version of Python 3.4 or above, pip is installed and ready to use like so:
python -m pip install pyqt5
That's of course assuming that the path for Python executable is in your PATH environment variable. Otherwise include the full path to Python executable (you can type where python to the Command Window to find it) like:
C:\users\userName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python34\python.exe -m pip install pyqt5
One of the most (probably the most) easiest way to install site-packages like PyQt5 is installing one of the versions of Anaconda. You can just install many of site-packages by installing it. List of avaliable site-packages with Anaconda versions can be checked here.
Dowload Anaconda3 or Anaconda2
Install it.
Add PyQt5's path inside Anaconda installation to your System Environment Variables.
For example:
PATH: ....; C:\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5; ...
It is ready to use.
If you're using Windows 10, if you use
py -m pip install pyqt5
in the command prompt it should download fine. Depending on either the version of Python or Windows sometimes python -m pip install pyqt5 isn't accepted, so you have to use py instead. pip is a good way to download a lot of stuff, so I'd recommend that.
Another command under the cmd is:
easy_install pyqt5
If you have python installed completely, it can save you the hassle. All you need to do is enter the following command in your respective shell:
pip install pyqt5
And contrary to popular belief, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE PIP INSTALLED, you can do this on virtually any OS...
Hope this helped!
If you are facing problem with pip3 install pyqt5 then try pip3 install pyqt5==5.12.0
This solved the problem for me
It can be installed with below simple command:
pip3 install pyqt5
Download whl from here http://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple/pyqt5/
pip install PyQt5-5.15.4-cp36.cp37.cp38.cp39-none-win_amd64.whl
If error comes try this
pip install --user PyQt5-5.15.4-cp36.cp37.cp38.cp39-none-win_amd64.whl
Done
If you are using canopy, use the package manager to install qt (and or pyqt)
You can easily install it using Anaconda. At first install Anaconda or Miniconda on you system (download from here) and then install the pyqt as follow:
conda install pyqt
It works for both version of python (2 and 3).
To install the GPL version of PyQt5, run (see PyQt5 Project):
pip3 install pyqt5
This will install the Python wheel for your platform and your version of Python (assuming both are supported).
(The wheel will be automatically downloaded from the Python Package Index.)
The PyQt5 wheel includes the necessary parts of the LGPL version of Qt. There is no need to install Qt yourself.
(The required sip is packaged as a separate wheel and will be downloaded and installed automatically.)
Note:
If you get an error message saying something as
No downloads could be found that satisfy the requirement
then you are probably using an unsupported version of Python.
easiest way, I think download Eric, unzip go to sources, open python directory, drag the install script into the python icon, not folder, follow prompts

I was having issue due to spyder and the versions were colliding so I tried this
pip uninstall pyqt5
pip uninstall spyder
pip install spyder
This installed all!
In the command prompt type:
pip install pyqt5
i've the same issue, but i found out that my problem was linked to the environment variables, because the cmd could not find "pip"
i edited the variables and run the command
pip3 install pyqt5
and i managed to install pyqt5 without problem
Hope that could help
check this guide it is in italian but is easy
You can try running the following:
python3 -m pip install pyqt5
and if you want to use pytqt5-tools with designer you can try with:
python3 -m pip install pip install PySide2
Hello there you can get your answers from here:

When trying to install wxPython in my project's virtualenv, I get this error:
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.2 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
Both the error and anything I can find on the internet (including here) tells me to download C++ build tools and install C++ 14.2 or greater / the latest version. I have:
done that (see the list above),
rebooted
venv/Scripts/pip install --upgrade setuptools
venv/Scripts/pip install --upgrade wheel
venv/Scripts/pip install --upgrade pip
What am I missing here? Is there some sort of path variable that I need to configure somewhere so pip/wheel/setuptools knows where to find the compiler?
I have the same problem. Solved for me to use Python 3.9.9.
Its maybe about a distutils problem in Python 3.10.1 with this warning from msvc9compiler.py:
DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for
removal in Python 3.12
This leads to:
raise DistutilsPlatformError("Unable to find vcvarsall.bat")
The current wxPython 4.1.1 is not compatible with python 3.10 on windows (it works on Linux). You can download an older version of Visual Studio Build Tools to get around the issue with the DistutilsPlatformError, however you will not be able to successfully install on python 3.10 on windows. I found a solution for the problem, the link is Compile_wxPython_4.1.2a1_Python3.10_Windows. I was not able to compile it but there is a link to the whl file that was bult using the procedure. I downloaded and installed it using the command pip install wxPython-4.1.2a1-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl
I am confident in the near future 4.1.2 will be released to PyPy and you will be able to install it using pip.
The answers here have already provided the right pointers, but in this anser I would like to list all the necessary steps directly so you don't have to visit other resources, and it also provides the solution for both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Python 3.10.x.
Solution for 64-bit version of Python 3.10.x
Download the wxPython wheel file directly here: wxPython-4.1.2a1-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl.
Using the Windows command line, move to the folder where you downloaded the wheel file.
Run: pip install wxPython-4.1.2a1-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl
Solution for 32-bit version of Python 3.10.x
Prerequisites
Download and install Microsoft C++ Build Tools.
Download and install cygwin.
Download and install GitHub Command Line Interface (GitHub CLI).
Build wxPython
In the Windows command line ran as Administrator, execute the following commands:
gh repo clone wxWidgets/Phoenix
cd .\Phoenix\
git submodule update --init --recursive
python -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r .\requirements.txt
python build.py dox etg --nodoc sip build
Create wheel
Still in the command line, execute the following:
python setup.py bdist_wheel
Install wheel
Still in the command line, execute the following:
cd dist
pip install <created-wheel-filename>
The <created-wheel-filename> should be the wheel you just created, so something like: wxPython-4.2.0a1-cp310-cp310-win32.whl

Compile wxPython 4.1.2a1 using Microsoft C++ Build Tools 2019
This problem is currently being fixed. Or rather it is fixed and a PR will be made with the fix pretty soon. I wrote a proper MSVC build environment script instead of the one that comes with either distutils or setuptool neither of which really work correctly when setting up an MSVC build environment.
Here is a link to the script I wrote that handles setting up the build environment properly
https://github.com/kdschlosser/python_msvc
and here is a link to a working fork of wxPython
https://github.com/oleksis/Phoenix/tree/try-pyMSVC
The problem with wxPython compiling properly is because neither setuptools or distutils has the capability of detecting Visual Studio 2022 properly. My script uses COM interfaces to collect the information needed to set up the build environment. The environment is set up without using the vcvar*.bat files.

I installed traitsui successfully by pip in python3.52
Qt4 must be installed to display GUI on windows, But the highest version of python Qt4 support is python3.4
So, I install python3.4, when I try to install traits by pip
I got error message:
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)
I search the error message, get some results, But none of them solve the problem, So I install mingw
use pip to install traits again, get another error
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'D:\\Program Files\\mingw-w64\\x86_64-5.3.0-win32-seh-rt_v4-rev0\\mingw64\\bin\\gcc.exe' failed with exit status 1
Is there a way to install traits on windows in python 3.4?
You can circumvent the problem of the error with Visual Studio C++ by installing a precompiled version of the package in form of a wheel. You can find wheel packages for most of the common modules here.
Download the file traits-4.6.0.dev0-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl (cp34 indicates Python 3.4, win32 that your Python is 32bit) and install it using the command line:
pip install C:\whereveryourfileis\traits-4.6.0.dev0-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl
Make sure that pip is linked to your Python 3.4 pip. If you are unsure, you can run the pip.exe directly by changing your directory in the command line (cd C:\Python34\Scripts) and running
pip.exe install C:\whereveryourfileis\traits-4.6.0.dev0-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl
Edit: Did you consider using Qt5?
I am trying to install PyQt5 on my Mac but I do not know how to use it well. I have tried to install sip doing
cd ~/Downloads/sip-4.17
python configure.py
which worked, and then I tried
cd ~/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.5.1
python configure.py --qmake /Users/name/Qt/5.5/clang_64/bin/qmake
which returns an error that says
Make sure you have a working sip on your PATH or use the --sip argument to explicitly specify a working sip.
How do I fix this error? Did I not install sip?
Meanwhile I have the ultimate way to install PyQt5 on macOS.
Don't use Homebrew. It is great for installing Qt5, but for PyQt5 the best way to install it is using
python3 -m pip install PyQt5
This works very quickly and uses universal Python Wheels:

You see: Such a wheel is re-used for CPython 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.
Old remark, but see below: PySide2 is not as far, but we will build similar wheels when we have the first version ready.
Added on 2017/09/25: You can of course also use
pip3 install PyQt5
But at that time my pip/pip2/pip3 was a bit messy linked, so the first solution is rock solid and avoids confusion.
Also right is that you don't always get the lastest version of PyQt5 this way. But for getting started, the priority is to get results quickly and not the bleeding edge.
Update: PySide2 now officially has wheels, to:

I'm kind of dodging the question, but the simplest way is to install Homebrew, and just run brew install pyqt or brew install pyqt5.
You need to install SIP first, which is not just running configure.py:
>>> cd ~/Downloads/sip-4.17
>>> python configure.py
>>> make
>>> make install
Then you can install PyQt5:
>>> cd ~/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.5.1
>>> python configure.py --qmake /Users/name/Qt/5.5/clang_64/bin/qmake
>>> make
>>> make install
Qt is set of cross-platform C++ libraries that implement high-level APIs for accessing many aspects of modern desktop and mobile systems. These include location and positioning services, multimedia, NFC and Bluetooth connectivity, a Chromium based web browser, as well as traditional UI development.
PyQt5 is a comprehensive set of Python bindings for Qt v5. It is implemented as more than 35 extension modules and enables Python to be used as an alternative application development language to C++ on all supported platforms including iOS and Android.
PyQt5 may also be embedded in C++ based applications to allow users of those applications to configure or enhance the functionality of those applications.
brew install PyQt5 (or) pip3 install PyQt5
In ~/.pip/pip.log I discovered:
Skipping https://pypi.python.org/packages/... (from https://pypi.python.org/simple/pyqt5/) because it is not compatible with this Python
Simply installed newwer version of Python 3 from official website and pip3 install PyQt5 finally worked.
Qt has a Mac .dmg installer with all the components. I uninstalled my pip version first, and installed my Qt into the standard location - I tried putting into /opt/Qt as suggested by another post, but it failed due to changes to MacOS rights in Mojave. There is an expansion triangle next to the Qt item which allows for installing Designer separately from the Qt engine and the 2D/3D development and platform-specific tools.
Qt Installer:

So after installing the whole 5.5 Qt package, and installing SIP, and the Xcode command line tools, I get this problem when trying to install the PyQt folder i got from the .gz I downloaded from the website
Joshuas-MacBook-Pro-2:PyQt-gpl-5.5 Josh$ python configure.py -q /Users/Josh/Qt/5.5/clang_64/bin -d /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/
Querying qmake about your Qt installation...
sh: /Users/Josh/Qt/5.5/clang_64/bin: is a directory
Error: PyQt5 requires Qt v5.0 or later. You seem to be using v3. Use the
--qmake flag to specify the correct version of qmake.
However, I clearly have v5.5 of Qt.
Any idea how to fix this or type in a different command to install it directly?
After spending much time getting PyQt working smoothly on a Mac, my strong recommendation is to install PyQt via Homebrew. The steps are very simple:
1) Install homebrew from here
2) Edit your ~./bash_profile to include the following at the top, so that later installs will see the brew versions of installs:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
3) Refresh your terminal window:
>source ~/.bash_profile
4) Then, simply install python, sip, pyqt in that order:
>brew install python
>brew install sip
>brew install pyqt
You should now have a fully working python/pyqt environment that you can customize via pip etc.
I would like to install spyder (the math IDE for python, here 2.7) on my windows 8.1 machine.
I did install python starting from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.6/;
I did install pip after having installed setuptools, following http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html for these installations;
I did change my path to add C:\Python27 and C:\Python27\Scripts to it, digging into the advanced parameters of my PC's properties. (By the way, I can't beleive the way you do this on windows has not changed for ages, with such a small input where you forgot to go at the end of the value when adding your path...)
I did install spyder
pip install spyder
But when launching it in command line (it's in the path :-) ), I ran through this error:
RuntimeError: Please check Spyder installation requirements:
PyQt4 4.4+ (or PySide 1.1.1+) is required.
Which is truly true. Though,
when trying to pip PyQt4 :
No distributions at all found for PyQt4
when trying to pip PySide, I have many errors, the root one seeming that it is unable to find nmake
Any piece of advice ?
To install PySide on Windows you can choose from the following options:
Download and install the packages from the releases page.
Use setuptools to install the egg binary packages:
c:> c:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install PySide
Use pip to install the wheel binary packages:
c:> c:\Python27\Scripts\pip install --use-wheel PySide
Details are here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PySide#installing-pyside-on-a-windows-system
BTW: PyQt does not support setuptools or pip
I am not sure if its a proper answer, but you might want to take a look at PythonXY. It makes all these installation procedure a breeze.
From the details in your question, it looks like you are missing both PyQt4 and Qt itself.
There are binary installers for Windows available from the PyQt download page. These installers include both PyQt and Qt (as well as various other tools such as Qt Designer). The only things not included are the Qt documentation, and Python itself (which you seem to have already installed).
Just be careful to select the right installer from the list of Binary Packages: i.e. the one for Python-2.7, plus whatever architecture is appropriate for your system.
