Hi Nicoz93,

If you want to use PyQt with Maya, you have to install it yourself. PyQt is under GNU license, we don't ship it with our binary package. There is a guide for building PyQt for Maya 2015 on our blog, please check it out.

However, we provide PySide with Maya since Maya 2014, I'd recommend you to get start with PySide instead.

Yours,

Hi,

Did you build the PyQt library ? If no, Li is correct, you have to build PyQt4 library yourself. Maya doesn't ship any PyQt libraries by default. Instead, Autodesk provides guidelines to build and test the PyQt libraries. please check the below updated link.
