Known issues

breakingIn version 5.15.x, the import path changed from `pyqt5_tools.designer` to `pyqt5_tools.QtDesigner.run()`. Direct function calls break.

fix

Use `from pyqt5_tools import QtDesigner; QtDesigner.run()`

affects: >=5.15

gotchaPyQt5-tools does not install PyQt5 automatically. Must install PyQt5 separately.

fix

Run `pip install PyQt5` before or alongside pyqt5-tools.

affects: all

gotchaOn Linux, Qt platform plugin errors may occur: 'Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"'. This is due to missing system libraries.

fix

Install system packages: `sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0` or use offscreen platform: `export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen`

affects: all
