How to install PyQt6 in Anaconda?

Question

I have Anaconda with Python 3. I would like to install PyQt6. Through the Anaconda prompt and in the desired environment I tried:

pip install PyQt6

However, when I try:

from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QMainWindow

I get:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt6.QtWidgets'; 'PyQt6' is not a package

I also checked through the Anaconda navigator, and it seems PyQt6 is installed. What is the issue?

Answer 1

conda-forge packages currently do not have pyqt6 available.

5.12.3 is the latest.

Although pulling pyqt from Anaconda Navigator will give version 5.9.2 at this point in time.

I'd suggest checking conda forge in time: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pyqt/files
