I have no idea how to install pyqt 4 everything i find online doesnt help because what it tells me to do doesnt work. i dont know where im supposed to put the sip files or the pyqt4 files.....
they say goto cmd and type in python configure-ng.py well it tells me its not in directories
if i run the configure-ng.py from the files i downloaded it says qmake files not in directory. so i try to do what they say to make it find qmake files and use --qmake or --q and it still doesnt work
if i run the file configure in the pyqt4 files it says i need a sip version 4.19.12 installed, and that is the version i installed...

pip install pyqt4

above will automatically install for the python in path,
if using python3, to make sure, use:

pip3 install pyqt4

do this from command line. pyqt5 is latest, and what you should use. I will try pyqt5. I was just watching a intro tutorial to gui and that's what he used. Could have been before pyqt5. I did try to do that at first with pyqt and it wouldnt install. However I didn't know anything about pipe could have been the problem
C:\Users\mjona>pip3 install pyqt5
Requirement already satisfied: pyqt5 in c:\users\mjona\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\site-packages (5.11.2)

say there is no module for pywt5

PyQt5 is probably installed into site-packages and not dist-packages.
You must verify your PYTHONPATH, and add site-package if needed.
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages (adapt
the path)
this is the only thing i have found that could actually be my problem, but i have tried what is says to do, and i cant figure it out. i copied the code, and put the location of site packages on my pc.... i copied everything from site packages to a folder in site-packages, and put it in a folder named PyQt5 in Lib.
no this is the error
