Installing PyQt5 Designer - birdieman - Jan-30-2017 I am very new (to Python, Designer, etc) and having a problem installing PyQt DESIGNER. I installed Python 3.6 I also installed PyQt5 using Windows command window and pip3. Everything worked fine (it said it was successful). Since PyQt - DESIGNER did not show up in my Windows Start Menu (like in a normal download from a web with an exe file), I am guessing I need to install DESIGNER separately. After searching various forums, I tried installing DESIGNER using "pip3 install PyQt5-tools" in the Windows command window and got "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyQt5-tools (from versions:) No matching distribution found for PyQt5-tools." I also downloaded something called a wheel -- pyqt5_tools-5.7.dev9-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl (md5) -- from Python software foundation. It is in my download bucket, but I do not know how to "run" it -- like a traditional downloaded exe file. So what do I do now? I want to download QT5-DESIGNER so that it shows up in my Windows Start Menu. Again, I am new so please be patient. Thanks I figured out how to download the wheel mentioned above using pip -- but it says " the wheel is not a supported wheel on this platform" -- anyone know what that means? Should I give up on PyQt5 and use PyQT4? RE: Installing PyQt5 Designer - snippsat - Jan-30-2017 Look at my installation here.

RE: Installing PyQt5 Designer - birdieman - Jan-31-2017 Snippsat -- thanks for responding. I will take a look at your installation, but before I do, does that fact that I have Windows 64 bit (and I think I installed PyQT 64 bit) make it necessary for me to change anything in your installation? RE: Installing PyQt5 Designer - snippsat - Jan-31-2017 What's important is what version your python installation is(32-bit or 64-bit). You see it when you type python<enter> in cmd. For 32-bit: PyQt5-5.7.1-5.7.1-cp34.cp35.cp36.cp37-none-win32.whl (md5) For 64-bit: PyQt5-5.7.1-5.7.1-cp34.cp35.cp36-none-win_amd64.whl (md5) RE: Installing PyQt5 Designer - birdieman - Jan-31-2017 To make sure I understand: I already have 64 bit PyQt5 (and python 3.6 64 bit) installed. Do I still do everything in your install instructions -- but substitute the 64 bit version line above?? Lastly, do I do it in the Windows cmd window or the python window? RE: Installing PyQt5 Designer - snippsat - Jan-31-2017 If it work on you OS version of Python you can leave at that. You can test the virtual environment setup as a exercise,or if problem with OS installation of PyQt. Virtual environment is build in to Python 3.6,it's a great tool to keep stuff isolated. RE: Installing PyQt5 Designer - mherrmann - Nov-01-2018 I had the same problem so created a standalone installer for Qt Designer. Maybe others here will find it useful as well. |
