The pre-built versions of PyQt4 and PyQt5 don't use the same version of SIP. If you don't have a build system (e.g. Visual Studio 2010, the Windows 7 SDK, or MinGW), then using a virtual environment should work around the problem. http://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html Install PyQt4, and then copy the following files and directories to a separate environment: Python33\qt.conf Python33\Lib\site-packages\sip.pyd Python33\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4 Copy the qt.conf file to the environment's Scripts, and update the absolute paths it contains to the new PyQt4 directory. Also edit qt.conf and pyuic4.bat in the PyQt4 directory. Then uninstall PyQt4 and install PyQt5. This would be simpler if PyQt used a bdist_wininst installer that works with easy_install. Apparently PySide does. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
