[chimerax-users] Dependency trouble

Is the other computer running a ChimeraX daily build? They are looking to switch to PyQt6 in one of the next versions. A ChimeraX developer would have more details on that.

Try changing your PyQt5 imports to just "Qt" (e.g. from Qt.QtWidgets import QPushButton). ChimeraX uses a shim to make things less dependent on the version of the Python Qt wrapper.

Best,

Tony

[EXTERNAL SENDER - PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY]

Hi,
I was attempting to install my chimerax bundle on a different computer and encountered the error:
No module named 'PyQt5'

So I added this line to the bundle_info.xml under the Dependencies tag:
<Dependency name="PyQt5"/>

But I still get the same error?
