Install Problems With PyQt5 (Win64)

stanking · 10-06-2014, 02:54 AM

Anyone know the secret to installing PyQt5 on a Windows 7 64-bit system? There's not an installer for Python 2.x, and I can't get the underlying SIP source code to make, or the PyQt5 source to even configure successfully. Running make on the SIP source code fails after the 409th make command runs, with an 0xc0000142 (compatibility) error.

The reason I want this is to create and edit a dialog window in a GUI instead of coding it. I tried using the PyQt5 installer that is provided for Python 3.4. The Qt Designer app works beautifully, but when I try to convert my mydialog.ui file to mydialog.py with the provided pyuic5 console app, it fails.

Any suggestions?

calibre-debug -c "from calibre.gui2 import build_forms; build_forms("/path/to/toplevel/dir/containg/your/.ui/file)"

And note that because of the way build_forms() works (it is designed for the calibre source code) your .ui file must be in the calibre/gui2 subdirectory
