PyQt5 and QtGui module not found

Question

Is there some reason that QtGui is packaged with PyQt5???

I am using Mark Summerfield\'s Rapid GUI programming book. Obviously this book was written with Qt4 in mind

Answer 1

The problem was when I was running the PyQt5 configure script. The correct option to pass went like this:

> python3 configure.py --qmake [path to Qt5.x]/bin/qmake

I was providing the path up to bin, but did not specifically point to qmake. Go figure!

After running the configure script like this, I was able to import all the PyQt5 modules.
