import - Python Cannot Find Module Located in Sub-Directory when Importing QAxContainer from PyQt5

Question

Python appears to be unable to locate the module QAxContainer in PyQt5. The package was installed using Conda and is present in a sub-directory of PyQt5 but cannot be located. Additional testing with pip resulted in the same error.

Ubuntu 20.04
Python 3.8.5

conda list
pyqt5 5.15.2 pypi_0 pypi

from PyQt5 import QAxContainer

ImportError: cannot import name 'QAxContainer' from 'PyQt5' (/home/brian/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt5/init.py)

However, qaxcontainer.py is present in /home/brian/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt5/uic/widget-plugins

Answer 1

There should be QAxContainer.pyd and QAxContainer.pyi at /home/brian/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt5/. If you dont have them maybe there's a problem with the package, try reinstalling PyQt5.
