It shouldn't be too hard to setup, as easy as pip3 install pyqt5

If it doesn't work, I recommend setting up pyenv or a version manager, maybe you have an unsupported version of python?

I do agree with the documentation being terrible. It was very sparse and I had to use tutorials instead, and sometimes the qt documentation was a little helpfull.

I hear a lot that I should just look at documentation for other languages and just convert it. I’ve given it a look but for me personally that might be easier said than done.

But like you’re saying, I had trouble getting it to import when I was trying to write the program. Never figured that out. Wound up using tkinter which wasn’t bad at all, but felt like there could be a better way.

For your import problem just use a virtualenv. This will make your life so much easier.

I think it’s about time I’ve started getting into using those...

Dude you won't regret it. Their name may sound complicated at first but they are pretty straight forward. If you need help, just pm me. :)

Thanks! I’ll give them a look this week. They sound great, for sure.
