PyCharm can't resolve references to PyQT5 modules

Question

I'm trying to learn how to use PyQT5. I created a new folder under my user profile and spun up a virtualenv (and installed PyQT5 from pip3) in a folder called env. I created the project in another folder called guis and pointed PyCharm to the env environment. Pycharm can't find the submodules but sees PyQT5.QtWidgets just fine.

I got it to work by removing PyQT5 from

Settings > Project > Project Interpreter

and reinstalling it within PyCharm.

Restart PyCharm afterwards.

Does this install it with pip or conda? I prefer to let conda manage stuff where possible. – flutefreak7 Mar 20 '18 at 15:51

Thanks. After installing PyQt5 via PyCharm, it mumbled "updating skeletons for '.virtualenvs/...", and afterwords I had to restart PyCharm. Then it worked. I'll add that in the answer, as it possibly helps, and doesn't do harm ;-) – nerdoc Sep 15 '18 at 06:35
The first working solution after several hours of searching. Thank you very much. – Atalanttore Feb 02 '20 at 20:27

This actually worked pretty good. Under windows PyCharm now resolves the stubbed \_\_init\_\_.py's in `%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.PyCharmxxxx.x\system\python_stubs\xxxxx\PySide2\..` – Erik Wolf Nov 14 '18 at 09:38

In my case i had non-latin symbols in path to python (in AppData). I made new windows user with only-latin name, using it instead of original user fixed the problem.

setting -> project interpreter -> click setting icon -> add -> new environment -> ( add path) -> check 'inherit global site-packages' and 'make available to all projects' -> click OK

always use same environment or you can use different environment for different projects, just check global packages
