Welcome! PyQt4 has been unmaintained for many years, and is not compatible with modern Python; you should use PyQt5 or PyQt6 instead, especially when starting fresh with a new project. If you are following a tutorial for it, I strongly suggest you just find a more up to date tutorial—and I’m sure you can find a lot better than a one with no narration or explanation from a channel with 34 subscribers. If you do want to try to make this work, you’ve apparently already installed PyQt5, so you could try replacing `PyQt4` with `PyQt5` in your `import` statement as `QtCore`, `QtGui` and `uic` are still available and the basics should mostly still work the same. However, if it does anything non-trivial, you’re likely to run into issues that may or may not be easy for a beginner to solve, so again I would strongly recommend finding a more up-to-date tutorial for PyQt5/6 or PySide2/6 5.12/6.2 or above. Also, just to note, since these questions are about Qt//PyQt and not the Python language itself, you’re likely to find better help on a Qt/PyQt-specific forum. Best of luck! --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.python.org/t/pyqt4-no-install/25230)._
