PyQt4 : Module not foundError

Question

I am trying to run a Python file that references PyQt4 using PyCharm. I get the following error message:

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt4'

I am running a virtual environment and I tried installing PyQt4 in the venv's site-packages directory using the following command:

pip install pyqt4

However, the CMD window returns that it cannot return a version that satisfies the requirement pyqt4.

I checked the vendor's website and it states that in order to use the PyQt4, I need to install the SIP package and I did. But that didn't solve it either.

Why do you want to use a library that is no longer supported? Why don't you use pyqt5 or pyqt6? — eyllanesc, Oct 18 '21 at 15:29
Hi-yes I know that it is proceeded by PyQt5 and PyQt6. But, this is an existing project which I need to support its usage of all its dependencies and packages. — Mohammad, Oct 18 '21 at 16:37
