title: How do i add or import pyqt and sip to Python
body: <p>im having trouble importing this. i am a newbie so please use layman words i can follow:p. riverbank said i need sip. but there is a sip folder in the pyqt download i installed, so do i have it already? there are some related questions on this site, which lead me to try these method:.. my pyqt folder is PyQt-win-gpl-4.9.4. so i typed:
  sys.path.append('C:\Program Files\PyQt-win-gpl-4.9.4\sip') this adds it fine, inside the 'sip' folder, it has a bunch of folders like QtCore etc.. and ive tried importing like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from sip import QtCore
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>ImportError: No module named sip</p>
  
  <p>or</p>
  
  <pre><code>import sip
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>ImportError: No module named sip</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please tell me what im doing wrong? should i have just installed PyQt in the original Python folder? i really want to be able to type the code while trying to learn it as its getting very confusing. thanks</p>
