Issue with a library - ebolisa - Feb-27-2021
Hi,
For some reason, the IDE doesn't recognize a package. However, the same code runs fine using Visual Studio Code.
What should I look for?
TIA

Don't name your file that you're editing the same name as a module. It will break the import.
You want to import elements from PyQt5, but your local file is PyQt5.py. It's looking for the libraries inside that file.

What threw me off is the fact the code worked in Visual Studio. Thank you!
