import error on deb9 about pyqt5 HOT 8 CLOSED

Me too. Debian Stretch (9)

With python3.5.3 works the previous version only. (pip install "PyQt5<5.11").
With python3.6.5 (used with pyenv) works without problems.

That's already reported and fixed: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2018-July/040512.html

if your are using pip you should look at pypi.org , this is not related with this repo

i will update this repo soon

I don't understand what should I do.
From pypi I can download a broken wheel for python3.5.
Python 3.5 is not an old version of python as written in @The-Compiler link because debian stable use it as default.
On pypi I don't see possibilities to report broken wheel.

from pyqt5.

3.5.3 is an old version, as the newest 3.5 version is 3.5.6 and it works fine there. Unfortunately, Debian Stable (and Ubuntu) likes keeping around outdated software 😉

You pretty much have three options:

• Upgrade to Python 3.5.6 (or 3.6/3.7)
• Stick with PyQt 5.10.1 for now
• Wait for PyQt 5.11.3 (which will probably be released after Qt 5.11.2 is)

from pyqt5.

I am aware of these solutions, see my previous post.
My question was about pypi, and the broken wheel.

Since the debian/ubuntu based distros are the 2-6 most popular distros, it is worth to supporting them.

from pyqt5.

The PyQt author already mentioned that he's not interested in doing a new release for this alone, and it's going to be fixed with 5.11.3 anyways. The current wheel probably should stay there as it works fine everywhere else.

Ok ,I understand wontfix.
