Not being able to launch bdedit about bdsim HOT 5 CLOSED

It would be helpful if you could use the bdedit bug report template, it asks you a bunch of questions that would help diagnose the problem. Did you do

pip install PyQt5

from bdsim.

No I did not, but now that I did, the following message appears (ImportError: No module named PyQt5.QtWidgets)

The following describes the issue in the bug report format.

Describe the bug: Not being able to launch the bdedit editor when running the python file bdedit.py

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior I have done the following steps:
Go to: the (bdsim) folder
Click on: the (bin) folder, and then open the file bdedit.py using Visual Studio code, and running the file
I get the error: ImportError: No module named PyQt5.QtWidgets
Expected behavior: from what I understood, running the bdedit.py file should launch a blank page bdedit editor.

Ahmed, this is not a bdeditproblem, it's an issue with your python, pip or PyQt5 install. I really can't help with this, I'm using more modern MacOS and PyQt5 works fine for me. You are going to have to google the error and fix it. If you are not using conda I would strongly recommend you do.

That is OK, Thank you very much Peter. I'll certainly look into how this can be fixed.

Hi @Ahmed8395, I put some notes on the wiki which includes a test example.
