However, depending on what you want to achieve, it may be simpler to just stay with PyQt4 and hope, that Phil creates installers, that can be installed in parallel. I don’t see a reason, why this should not be possible. Eric5 needs PyQt4 to be run. However, that may change for the next major release (scheduled end of this year).</div><div><br></div><div>Detlev</div><div><br><div><div>Am 12.01.2014 um 22:16 schrieb Colin J.
