Python error ERROR Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyQt4 from versions none

Question

I am trying to install PyQt4 on my python 2.7. But I end up with the following error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyQt4 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for PyQt4

Comments

Try installing from the terminal with the following command:

pip install pyqt4

---

I get this when I try installing using pip:

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop
support for Python 2.7.

It's not working even i installed pyqt5 but getting same error.

Are you trying to install it using pip?

Answer 1

You cannot install PyQt directly from pip. Download the file according to your version.

And run install the .whl file with pip

Hope it helps!!

For Python version 3.8, you need PyQt5. Try installing PyQt5 instead of PyQt4.

Answer 2

QT does not support Qt4 anymore. But you can install PyQt5 instead:

pip install PyQt5

Answer 3

I downloaded pyqt5 then installed it via pip

Answer 4

You need to install python-qt using pip like this:

pip install python-qt

Answer 5

Every time you need to install pip pkgs, run the following commands beforehand from your cmd (you don't need to be Admin):

set http_proxy=http://your_corp_username:password@<your_corp_proxy_host>:<port>
set https_proxy=https://your_corp_username:password@<your_corp_proxy_host>:<port>

Then run your usual pip commands.

If pip throws some SSL trust/resolution error. You can also do the following to trust pip by your network:

pip --trusted-host=pypi.python.org --trusted-host=pypi.org --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org install <some_package>

Use the following for installing packages under current user only (this doesn't require Admin privileges)

pip --trusted-host=pypi.python.org --trusted-host=pypi.org --trusted-host=files.pythonhosted.org insta
