Visualisations of data are at the core of every publication of scientific research results. They have to be as clear as possible to facilitate the communication of research. As data can have different formats and shapes, the visualisations often have to be adapted to reflect the data as well as possible. We developed Pylustrator, an interface to directly edit python generated matplotlib graphs to finalize them for publication. Therefore, subplots can be resized and dragged around by the mouse, text and annotations can be added. The changes can be saved to the initial plot file as python code.

It seems to be an error with installing PyQt5. Maybe you could try to install a different version of PyQt5? I don't have a mac around to test the installation there.

I fixed a couple of errors for the release I just published. Maybe your problem is solved now. If the problem persists feel free to open the issue again.
