PyQt5 - python-3.2 : no module available + pyuic5 cannot find PyQt5.uic module

Question

Trying to install PyQt5, the ''make install'' command ended by issuing a warning related to pyuic5 file format (see bellow)

the python path is set as

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/PyQt5

When testing I face these issues

modules not found

help('modules')

doesn't display any PyQt5 module

Conversion error

Trying to convert a .ui file to a python module

$  pyuic5 mywindow.ui -o mywindow_ui.py

results in

/usr/bin/python3: No module named PyQt5.uic

Can't convert UI nor embedded QT resources anymore (pyrcc5 fails as pyuic5)

Build

the build seems succesfull as the /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages directory content is

/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/PyQt5$ ls

In the extracted PyQt5 source directory

$ python3 configure.py --qmake /home/jeby6372/Qt/5.3/gcc_64/bin/qmake
$ make
$ sudo make install

make: [install_pyuic5] Error 1 (ignored)

Any idea to solve that ?

Solution

make: [install_pyuic5] Error 1 (ignored)

Just ignore it. Your installation is fine. Open Terminal:

$python
>>> import PyQt5.Qt

if there is no error show up, you are done.
