尝试在 Macbook 上安装 PyQt 设计器时出错

Question

I have installed PyQt5 on my Macbook, however when I try and run the command to install the tools, I am getting an error as follows:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyqt5-plugins<5.15.2.3,>=5.15.2.2 (from pyqt5-tools) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyqt5-plugins<5.15.2.3,>=5.15.2.2 (from pyqt5-tools)

Here is the full input and output:

(base) _-Air:Chess-Final _$ pip3.7 install pyqt5-tools
Collecting pyqt5-tools

You should consider upgrading via the '/usr/local/bin/python3.7 -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

I have tried downloading QT designer from its website, but since I want it for personal use, I am not able to get it (it requires company information)

Answer 1

So it turns out that pyqt5-tools is only available for Windows as seen on their site: https://pypi.org/project/pyqt5-tools/

Try an alternative such as QT-creator for Mac: https://www.qt.io/download

This post strongly supports using Homebrew: Python PyQt on macOS Sierra
