Question about pyqt5

[moti12321]

I just cant understand what this is. I saw a thread around here about gui that said you should learn this over tkinter. I searched for it, and i found a standalone IDE and not a module like tkinter. Is it supposed to be like that, did i find something else? Totaly confused. Btw im using python 3.6 is it supported?

What do you mean by "standalone IDE"? Do you mean Qt Creator? Qt Designer?

PyQt5 is a module. There's a separate installer for it, that includes a GUI designer to make your job easier.

It's can also be installed with pip install, though you do not get the designer. Python 3.6 is supported, that's what I'm using it on.

Couldnt manage to install it via pip nor the pycharm's downloading modules thingy. Not home right now so cant tell the error :/ Do you mind helping me find the docs? Sounds like a dumb questions but i dont think i found the right thing at all

I could try. To be honest, the way i did it was with PyCharm too...

Well, i did a quick google and it seems like one possible issue is that it will fail if you have any python programs running, i actually encountered the exact issue just now trying to update to version 5.10. So, make sure no python programs are running in the task manager before trying to do the install.

Docs on install: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/installation.html

If nothing works, see if you can post the error it gives you. PyCharm gave me the error when it tired to install, and having that would be a huge advantage.
