Issue with PyQt5

[sprice17]

Complete newb to Python. Been using lcurse for a while and I installed Python (3?) to learn more and broke lcurse I now get the following error:

sprice@xfce:~/Desktop$ lcurse Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/lcurse", line 8, in from PyQt5 import Qt ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5'

sprice@xfce:~/Desktop$ pip3 install PyQt5 Requirement already satisfied: PyQt5 in /home/sprice/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages Requirement already satisfied: sip<4.20,>=4.19.4 in /home/sprice/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (from PyQt5)

Similar issue here:

"Collecting PyQt5==5.7. (from -r requirements.txt (line 3)) Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyQt5==5.7. (from -r requirements.txt (line 3)) (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for PyQt5==5.7.* (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))"

I even tried apt-get install -y python-pyqt5, but I still have the same module error.

Hi, you need to install pyqt5 for python3, not python 2.

So please try with apt install python3-pyqt5

That should install the needed module.

I've been trying to get this running with OSX, ran into this exact same issue even though I pulled in PyQT5 (5.10.1) from Homebrew.

➜ lcurse git:(master) brew info pyqt5 pyqt: stable 5.10.1 (bottled) Python bindings for v5 of Qt https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5 /usr/local/Cellar/pyqt/5.10.1_1 (985 files, 45MB) * Poured from bottle on 2018-07-09 at 13:15:25 From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/pyqt.rb ==> Dependencies Required: qt ✔, sip ✔ Recommended: python ✔, python@2 ✔

Any suggestions?

Well I solved pyqt5, turns out I had to symlink pip3 to pip. New issue is lxml isn't building. I'll open a new issue for that since it's not an issue with PyQT5.
