ImportError: Failed to import any qt binding, Python - Tensorflow

Question

I'm starting my adventure with Tensorflow. I think I installed everything correctly, but when running this code, PyCharm returns an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

My code which I am trying to run:

I think it follows another version of python. How can I run the code without error. I installed qt-binding and added tensorflow to my PyCharm.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

make sure you have PyQt5 installed. you may open a python shell and try:

import PyQt5

if it fails then you can install it via:

pip install PyQt5

If you are on macOS or Linux be careful that you might need to run

pip3 install PyQt5

Answer 2

It solved my problem.

pip uninstall matplotlib
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install matplotlib
