ImportError: No module named 'resource_rc'

Question

I made a simple program with PyQt GUI, and compiled '.ui' file.

# Form implementation generated from reading ui file 'main.ui'
#
# Created by: PyQt5 UI code generator 5.6
#
# WARNING! All changes made in this file will be lost!

import resource_rc

but it is causing error like below.

ImportError: No module named 'resource_rc'

I tried to find this error in StackOverflow already, but anyone didn't get this error.

I'm using Python 3.5, and PyQt 5.6. (I know PyQt is incompatible with Python 3.5, but I don't have any error except this)

---

Now, code is working without any problem after I removed last line of codes: 'import resource_rc'

but exactly what is this line doing?

Answer 1

You should have a file called resource.qrc, this must be converted to .py, this or you can do it by executing:

pyrcc5 resource.qrc -o resource_rc.py

Answer 2

When you compile a .ui file, it uses the resources_rc.py (which must be compiled as well) to store its resources. For example, if you open the qrc file, you will see the items it has stored. If your ui uses anything from the resources_rc.py, file you will get the error you saw.

Answer 3

make sure you select your environment with PyQT5!

conda activate your_env_name

try the above command. Make sure that you have installed Anaconda.

If you are not installed Pyqt5 use the below commands to install.

conda install -c anaconda pyqt
pip install PyQt5

Answer 4

import resource_rc

you may fix this with --from-imports option .

pyuic4 -h

--from-imports      generate imports relative to '.'

Example:

pyuic4 --from-imports -w -o aboutBA.py aboutBA.ui

Answer 5

with python3, i use this:

pyrcc5 file.qrc -o file.py
