Install PyQt for Python3.9 on a computer without internet connection

Question

I'm trying to install PyQt on a windows computer without internet connection. The computer seems to have a very recent version of Python (Python 3.9.2) so the older.exe files available online don't seem to be compatible.

I downloaded the whl file (PyQt5-5.15.4-cp36.cp37.cp38.cp39-none-win32.whl) but I'm not entirely sure where to put it despites trying to print(sys.path) as recommended here .

Update: I managed to unzip the whl file and tried placing it in several locations, amongst them the site-packages folder but it still doesn't seem to be working.

Any idea how to get this working?

Answer 1

Based on @Dariusz 's comment I downloaded PyQt5 on a friends computer using the cmd command

pip install pyqt5

and then checked which files were recently installed by checking the Date Modified and then copied those files as a.zip into the site-packages directory on the offline computer and unzipped it there.

Got it working by doing that.
