PyQt5 is provided as a source distribution (sdist) and binary wheels from PyPI. The wheels include copies of the corresponding Qt libraries. To install it run:

pip install PyQt5

PyQt6

PyQt6, the bindings for Qt v6, is currently in development. At the moment it builds against Qt v5 but introduces a number of incompatibilities with PyQt5.

SIP v6 is required to build the snapshot. To build the sip module for PyQt6, run:

sip-module --project PyQt6.sip

PyQt6 introduces the following incompatibilities with PyQt5:

• All enums are now implemented as enum.Enum (PyQt5 used enum.IntEnum for scoped enums and a custom type for traditional named enums). PyQt5 allowed an int whenever an enum was expected but PyQt6 requires the correct type.
• QFlags are implemented as enum.Flag.
• Q_CLASSINFO has been replaced by the pyqtClassInfo class decorator.
• Q_ENUM and Q_FLAG have been replaced by the pyqtEnum enum decorator.
• Q_ENUMS and Q_FLAGS have been removed.
• All exec_() methods have been removed.
• All print_() methods have been removed.
• The Qt module has been removed.
• QtWidgets.qApp has been removed.
• The QtCore.PYQT_CONFIGURATION dict has been removed.
• pylupdate can no longer read a .pro file in order to determine the names of .py files to translate.
• pyrcc has been removed.
• Python v3.6 or later is required.

Other compatibilities may be added during the development of PyQt6.

PyQt5

PyQt5 is the current stable release of PyQt. This is a snapshot of the next release of PyQt5 including all bug fixes.

This is the last release of PyQt4. No more releases will be made.

Before you can build PyQt4 from sources you must have already installed SIP v4.
