After spending a few hours, I realized that maybe PyQt-Fit only works with python 2.7 then I created a conda environment with python 2.7 and created a kernel

//This is for conda to support switching kernels
conda install nb_conda

conda create -n py27 python=2.7
conda activate py27

//install PyQt-Fit
pip install -I path.py==7.7.1
pip install git+https://github.com/Multiplicom/pyqt-fit.git

// This is needed for Jupyter Notebook connecting with new kernel
pip install pypiwin32

//Make sure you are at the same directory as the py27 env, for example, C:\Anaconda3\envs\py27
//Create a new kernel
conda install notebook ipykernel
ipython kernelspec install-self

//now run jupyter notebook

A few useful links that helped me to get things fixed.

https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/use-jupyter-notebook-extensions/

https://github.com/ipython/ipykernel/issues/52

In which conda environment is Jupyter executing?

PyQt_Fit: cannot import name path
