#INSTALL PYQT5 ON WINDOWS YOUTUBE INSTALL#

The final part of this step is to check that the sip.exe program has been put in a location that is part of your path (this might only be a problem if you're using a virtual Python environment.

I chose to point them at the system Python install (c:\Python27\include and c:\Python27\libs.) It should now be as simple as If you're using a virtual environment for Python you might have to modify the makefile for SIPLib since it hard codes dependencies on the location of the Python include subdirectory and the libs subdirectory. Don't run these commands from a standard shell, use the Visual Studio tools command shell instead, so that your path includes the compiler, and also so that the INCLUDE, LIBS, and LIBPATH environment variables are set. There are three commands to build and install SIP.

Make sure that the bin subdirectory of your Qt install is in your system path.

This could be important if there is any static linkage between the Qt install and PyQt (which could lead to getting a binary incompatibility of the linked object files.) Get Qt from Note that Qt has extra considerations around licensing, so you might want to take a look at first. Also, (even though I think that it shouldn't matter), I made sure to get the version of Qt that was built with the same version of the MSVC compiler that I have. If you're using 32 bit Python make sure that you get 32 bit Qt.

You're going to need to have an appropriate version of qt.

I have the professional version but I assume that the community version will work too.

You're going to need a valid installation of MS Visual C++.By assumption, you already have Python 2.7 installed. Thankfully the process is quite straightforward. As you noted, there aren't supported packages for PyQt5 and Python 2.7 so you will have to build it yourself. Here's what I did to achieve the desired outcome. This is a very old question, but had I come across this question with a decent answer a week ago I would have found it very useful.
