How to install PyQt 5.9.2 on Conda?

[Joe R]

I tried to update my PyQt5 on Conda, but it seems my 5.5.1 is the latest version available on Anaconda.

Does anyone know when the new PyQt 5 version will be available on Conda, or how I can install the latest, 5.9.2 version now.

Thanks.

I'm seeing 5.6.0 on conda-forge and on the default "anaconda" channel: https://anaconda.org/search?q=pyqt

The confusion may be from the name. It looks like PyQt5 has been used in the past but conda-forge and anaconda now use pyqt.

You can make an issue or a pull request to upgrade from 5.6.0 to 5.9.2 at the conda-forge pyqt repo here: https://github.com/conda-forge/pyqt-feedstock

Once it's working on conda-forge, it will be easier for Anaconda to move it into the default channels.

You can also file a package request with Anaconda here: https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues

In the meantime, it looks like you can use "pip install PyQt5" to get 5.9.2: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyQt5/5.9.2
