Do anybody knows how to install PyQt5-tools on mac? Altendky changed the title How to install PyQt5-tools on mac? Support Mac/OS X Nov 28, 2018. How can I install PyQt5 on Mac? Ask Question 8. Meanwhile I have the ultimate way to install PyQt5 on macOS. Don't use Homebrew. It is great for installing Qt5, but for PyQt5 the best way to install it is using. How do I install pip on macOS or OS X? How to completely uninstall Android Studio on Mac?
There was a time back in 2014 and earlier when PyQT5 installation was not straightforward and needed manual compilation. When searching on Google, still those posts come up on top results. But nothing to worry about, things have changed – it’s now quite simple.

Installation
If you are not already using Homebrew, you should start using it. Once Homebrew is installed, let’s install PyQT5 with this single command:
Verifying Installation
Let’s take a sample PyQT5 code as example and run it. For examples, I usually pick one up from the excellent PyQT tutorials on zetcode.com. Here’s one:

Run it using:

If you get a nice looking small window – it worked!
Integrating with Pyenv
I am a big fan of pyenv and use it for running different versions and flavours of Python. If you use pyenv too, chances are you have your own version of Python installed through it. However, the brew formula that installs PyQT5 depends on another formula
python3
– homebrew’s own Python 3 installation. When we install PyQT5, this formula is used to install the bindings, so the bindings are only available to this particular Python 3 installation and unavailable to our pyenv versions. We will discuss two potential solutions to this issue.
Switching to system
One simple work around is to use the Python 3 version installed by Homebrew. We can ask pyenv to switch to the
system
version whenever we’re doing PyQT5 development. 2 | python3 filename.py |
We can create an alias to quickly switch between Python versions. I have this in my
.zshrc
:2 | alias py3='pyenv global 3.5.0' |
This way is very quick and simple but we miss the benefits of using pyenv.
Adding Site Packages
Alternatively, we can add the
site-packages
for this homebrew installed python 3 to our pyenv installation of python 3. Since both installations were built on the same machine and OS, the bindings should work correctly. We would be using .pth
files to do this. Let’s first find out the site-packages for the homebrew installation:
