So I’m absolutely new to PyQt5 and apologize ahead.
Currently I’m trying to get this thing to work and now spent a good 5 hours or so trying to figure it out but I just can’t. I pip installed PyQt5 systemwide but as soon as I try to run import the library I get an ImportError in the first line and a ModuleNotFoundError in the second.
Furthermore if I try to install PyQt5-tools everything goes absolutely nuts and I just can’t figure out what is going wrong where and it’s driving me insane.
Here are all the packages I have installed.
>Solution :
You need to name your own file something other than PyQt5.py
. Python will first try to import things from the folder that you are currently in, so it will find your script PyQt5.py
, which tells it to import PyQt5.py
, which tells it to import… and so on. This is the reason that you get the hint "most likely due to a circular import".
