[PyQt] Windows Install Issue

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello,

the only ‚work around‘ would be to compile PyQt5 yourself. 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).

Unfortunately it is not possible to use both the PyQt4 and PyQt5 installers at the same time. If you wish to have both PyQt4 and PyQt5 installed at the same time you will need to build them yourself from the source packages.
