I need to port some code that's Python2+PyQt4 to Python3+PyQt5.
I started installing pip3
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Installation
pip3 install --user pyqt5
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev-tools
sudo apt-get install qttools5-dev-tools
Configuring to run from terminal
$ qtchooser -run-tool=designer -qt=5
OR
Write the following in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt-default/qtchooser/default.conf
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
Code Generation
Create uic.py file.
#!/usr/bin/python3
import subprocess
import sys
child = subprocess.Popen(['pyuic5' ,'-x',sys.argv[1]],stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
print(str(child.communicate()[0],encoding='utf-8'))
$ chmod +x uic.py
Create a symlink:
$ sudo ln uic.py "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/uic"
