Hello,
I followed the steps above but I still get the following error when trying to run a pyQT program:
***Traceback (most recent call last):
File "HelloWorld.py", line 10, in <module>
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
ImportError: No module named PyQt5
(program exited with code: 1)
Press return to continue***RESOLVED:
It was because I was trying to run the script directly from Geany! - if I run it from the terminal using: python3 HelloWorld.py it works fine.
