pip install pyqt fails #579
Comments

According to the docs pyqt doesn't use the supported (distutils/distribute/setuptools) python mechanisms for building so is not installable via pip - instead it uses a configure.py and generates a Makefile and uses Make.

You probably could build into your virtualenv by following the steps above using the path to the virtualenv python interpreter eg |
Personally I would vote for removing the PyQt from the PyPI because they author is does not care about maintaining it. Anyway after spending a lot of time, I was able to find an workaround, here is the solution Still, the author should fix the distribution, as currently is broken. Why to keep something broken on PyPi? |
@ssbarnea Jose Luis answer is probably better http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1961997/is-it-possible-to-add-pyqt4-pyside-packages-on-a-virtualenv-sandbox Anyway your suggestion of removing pyqt from pypi should be made to pyqt devs. Pip is a different/unrelated project. |
Is it possible to install pyqt using pip (preferably in a virtualenv), or it has to be done manually?
