I can't comment on PyQt5 but I can say how to use PyQt4 with virtualenv on Windows. The Riverbank installers do not work in a virtualenv. However PySide wraps PyQt4 in a compatible installer. To use the installer it should be invoked with easy_install rather than pip install. Having installed it, pip uninstall works. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PySide The Riverbank installer can install PyQt5 to your master copy of Python. You can then use the --system-site-packages flag when creating a virtualenv. The default behavior of virtualenv changed in 1.7 (2011-11-30) from including system packages to excluding them. -- Pete Forman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
