I got the following error when trying to import pyqt5. Is there a good solution?

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
ImportError: dlopen(/Users/xxx/.cache/pants/named_caches/pex_root/installed_wheels/33ced1c876f6a26e7899615a5a4efef2167c263488837c7beed023a64cebd051/PyQt5-5.15.6-cp36-abi3-macosx_10_13_x86_64.whl/PyQt5/QtWidgets.abi3.so, 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/5/QtWidgets

That just means the

PyQt5-5.15.6

wheel is not self contained with a fully static Qt. It relies on Qt being installed on the local machine. So you'll need to install Qt on any machine that wants to run a PEX with that

PyQt5-5.15.6

wheel as a dependency. To be clear, this is not a PEX specific problem. Just examining the wheel contents directly can let you know if the wheel will work on your machine. For example, on my machine it will not:

$ curl -sSL <https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/36/66/19983d471c702e551a19a7225a92a7c1efadd961f6c650110ed906dd0ed7/PyQt5-5.15.6-cp36-abi3-manylinux1_x86_64.whl> -O
$ mkdir PyQt5-5.15.6
$ unzip -d PyQt5-5.15.6 PyQt5-5.15.6-cp36-abi3-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
$ ldd PyQt5-5.15.6/PyQt5/QtWidgets.abi3.so

Note there are three expected shared libraries that do not link on my machine since I don't have Qt installed at all (I run Gnome, not KDE).

Thanks for the quick reply. I understand that it is difficult to solve the problem. I could not execute the command immediately because our environment is macos, but why was the execution successful when I did

poetry run python main.py

? pyproject.toml

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.8"
PyQt5 = "^5.15.6"

main.py

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication

I really have no clue @bland-father-19717. You're going to have to dig into the lines you snipped:

It looks like that requires understanding how RPATH works on Mac for a start.

@enough-analyst-54434 Thanks for helping us with our investigation! I’ll look into it a bit.
