PyQt5 - No module named PyQt5.QtWidgets

[swatto]

Good Evening,

I am running Ubuntu 15.04 and I have installed Qt Creator from the Ubuntu Software Centre. I am trying to run a small Python script to show a Window:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QDialog
from ui_imagedialog import Ui_ImageDialog

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QDialog()
ui = Ui_ImageDialog()
ui.setupUi(window)

window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

but I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ui.py", line 2, in <module>
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QDialog
ImportError: No module named PyQt5.QtWidgets

I am unsure why this is, please can you help?

Thanks,

You will get that error if pyqt5 isn't installed. So install either the python-pyqt5 or python3-pyqt5 package depending on which python version you are using.
