Nvidia AGX Xavier安装PyQt5遇到的问题

问题一：AttributeError: module ‘sipbuild.api’ has no attribute ‘prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel’

大意是缺少依赖，可以依次使用以下方法：

方法一：升级pip

但是对我而言升级pip没有用

参考链接：[Solved] AttributeError: module 'sipbuild.api' has no attribute 'prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel' - Exception ErrorTo Solve AttributeError: module 'sipbuild.api' has no attribute 'prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel' Error You Just need to update PIP version ahttps://exerror.com/attributeerror-module-sipbuild-api-has-no-attribute-prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel/

pip3 install --upgrade pip3

方法二：安装QT5

sudo apt install qt5-default

然后再

pip3 install PyQt5

参考链接：python - AttributeError: module 'sipbuild.api' has no attribute 'prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel' for PyQt5 5.15.0 - Stack Overflowhttps://stackoverflow.com/a/70096518

正如这个链接回答的评论里提到的：

This should be the selected answer, if QT5 is not installed on the host or there is a large enough version gap the metadata just won't exist or be valid. 

PyQt5没有相应的依赖，而安装QT5之后就会有对应的metadata或者说依赖生成，之后就可以安装PyQt5了。

问题二：pip3 install PyQt5的时候卡在了Preparing Wheel metadata...

StackOverflow问题链接：

python - Pip Install stuck on "Preparing Wheel metadata..." when trying to install PyQT5 - Stack Overflowhttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/66546886/pip-install-stuck-on-preparing-wheel-metadata-when-trying-to-install-pyqt5

我也卡了很久，但是这个时候只要等待就好了，比如你可以

pip3 install --verbose PyQt5

可以在install的时候输出记录，查看是否卡在了后台。

问题三：pip3 install pyqt5-tools时候AttributeError: module ‘sipbuild.api’ has no attribute ‘prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel’

这个问题很好解决，不要在Xavier上安装pyqt-tools。至少我是用不到tools的，直接安装PyQt5。
