Why can't I install PyQt5 from the pypi?
pycharm, pyqt, python, qt
Solution
AFAIK, you cannot install PyQt4/PyQt5 from PyPI. You would have to install it separately.
If you see this link, you can see that there are no listed packages for PyQt5 (likewise for PyQt4) on PyPI. So, you would need to download the installer separately from here and install it.
That is what the
DistributionNotFound: No distributions at all found for PyQt5
refers to.
[UPDATE]: You'll also most likely need to install sip the same way, here's how: https://askubuntu.com/a/666336/12214
Problem
I want to use PyQt5 in pycharm. After trying to install the package from Available packages, an error says: 'Install packages failed: Error occurred when installing package PyQt5.' The complete log is here: ``` ------------------------------------------------------------ C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PyCharm 3.0.1\helpers\packaging_tool.py run on 02/05/14 16:13:23 Downloading/unpacking PyQt5 Getting page https://pypi.python.org/simple/PyQt5/ URLs to search for versions for PyQt5: * https://pypi.python.org/simple/PyQt5/ Analyzing links from page https://pypi.python.org/simple/PyQt5/ Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement PyQt5 No distributions at all found for PyQt5 Exception information: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pip-1.3.1-py2.7.egg\pip\basecommand.py", line 139, in main status = self.run(options, args) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pip-1.3.1-py2.7.egg\pip\commands\install.py", line 266, in run requirement_set.prepare_files(finder, force_root_egg_info=self.bundle, bundle=self.bundle) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pip-1.3.1-py2.7.egg\pip\req.py", line 1026, in prepare_files url = finder.find_requirement(req_to_install, upgrade=self.upgrade) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pip-1.3.1-py2.7.egg\pip\index.py", line 171, in find_requirement raise DistributionNotFound('No distributions at all found for %s' % req) DistributionNotFound: No distributions at all found for PyQt5 ``` What should I do? This is what I've done is this: - Installed Python 3.3 and added to PATH - Installed `PyQt5-5.2-gpl-Py3.3-Qt5.2.0-x64.exe` And I don't know how to use `PyQt` in pycharm. can you provide more information?
