[PyQt] Install PyQt5 via setuptools

[Tony Arnold]

I have a PyQt5 application which I package using setuptools. I've recently, PyQt5 3.5 or later can be installed using pip3, so I presumed that PyQt5 could be specified in the 'install_required' option in my setup.py file. However, this fails to install PyQt5 when installing my package.

Is it possible to do what I want, and if so how would I go about it?

Regards,
Tony.

It says:

Searching for PyQt5
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/PyQt5/
No local packages or working download links found for PyQt5
error: Could not find suitable distribution for
Requirement.parse('PyQt5')


I'm running on Ubuntu 16.10 inside a virtualenv with Python 3.5.

What command are you running? `python setup.py develop` won't work, you
have to use `pip install -e .` from within the same directory as
`setup.py`. Then pip will search PyPI for dependencies.

I'm running 'python setup.py install' and in my setup.py file, I
have install_requires=['PyQt5', 'pyexiftool', 'keyring']

Note that pyexiftool is not available on PyPI, so I have a
dependency_link defined for that which works just fine, but it means
that your suggestion of 'pip install -e .' fails trying to install
'pyexiftool'. Your suggestion works and installs PyQt5 if I remove
'pyexiftool' from the install_requires line.

Tony.
