2017-08-09 Issue with PyQt¶
I recently faced the issue:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"
in "".
The failing instruction:
import matplotlib.plt
Quite annoying. I finally found this page
Qt 5.1.1: Application failed to start because platform plugin “windows” is missing
which tells to set up QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH
ot find DLL
qwindows.dll
:
set QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=%PYTHON%\Library\plugins\platforms
Quite annoying. I was using Anaconda 3.5.
