无法安装 Orange 3 ImportError: PyQt4, PyQt5 or PySide are not available for import

Question

I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I have created a virtual environment and installed Orange using

pip install orange3

I also installed PyQt4 using

 sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt4

But when I launch orange3 from terminal I got the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/arun/.virtualenvs/orange3env/bin/orange-canvas", line 11, in <module>

ImportError: PyQt4, PyQt5 or PySide are not available for import

Answer 1

Seems like you are missing a version of PyQt in the environment you run Orange from .

Best do something like pip3 install pyqt5 in the same terminal you pip-installed Orange.

Answer 2

Try this (works for me)

sudo apt install python3-pyqt5.qtsvg
