PyCharm 3.0 fails to find PyQt5

Question

I've got Python 3.3.2 installed (both x86 and x64 versions) and PyQt5.1 installed on top of them.

Recently I installed PyCharm 3.0 Community Edition and configured to work with these Python interpreters. The problem is that PyQt5 is not shown in the list of installed packages and documentation is not working (both Ctrl+Space to autocomplete and Ctrl+Q for docs).

When PyCharm is quering skeleton generation it seems to process PyQt but to no use. When I try to install PyQt using packages system inside PyCharm, I get following error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\PyCharm3.0\helpers\packaging_tool.py run on 10/06/13 13:58:52
Downloading/unpacking PyQt5

Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement PyQt5

     raise DistributionNotFound('No distributions at all found for %s' % req)

Error:

pip.exceptions.DistributionNotFound: No distributions at all found for PyQt5

But it seems that this is unrelated problem.

PyQt5 is installed with binary installer. System is Win 7 x64.

Update: I've found log from previous index invalidating I tried to make things work. The log contains no errors or warnings concerning PyQt. Specifically it reads as follows:

INFO - .skeletons.PySkeletonRefresher - Home path is C:\Program Files (x86)\PyCharm3.0 
INFO - .skeletons.PySkeletonRefresher - Pregenerated skeletons root is C:\Program Files (x86)\PyCharm3.0\skeletons

Maybe some problem lies in packaging tool:

INFO - packaging.PyPackageManagerImpl - Running packaging tool: C:/Python/332_x64/python.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\PyCharm3.0\helpers\packaging_tool.py list

But there are no errors reported still.

Answer 1

Couldn't install in pip either but building from source worked fine for me. As mentioned on the comment the .exe file doesn't come with documentation and i think pycharm wouldn't like that because qt its c++. Download here.

if you dont want to build from source then check where did the exe file install qt5. Probably the install went fine but the dir installed is not in the path.

Answer 2

pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/tarball/develop

1. The above syntax downloads the pyinstaller
2. Pip install pyqt5
3. Make sure you have pyqt5 file in the pyinstaller in users\appdata..etc
