PyQt can't be easily installed from source using pip on Windows, and the project doesn't distribute pre-built wheel packages. You probably want an installer: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5 Riverbank doesn't have a Python 3.5 build yet, but there's an unofficial wheel available here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyqt4 Instructions to install wheels: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/user_guide/#installing-from-wheels >> Even on basic installation i am getting it hard to find installation > of sip. > > I confess i'm not sure which SIP you mean?

The Qt bindings require the sip extension module at runtime, but that's included. If you need SIP for your own C++ project, you can learn more about it and download the source from Riverbank: https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/intro _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
