Import Error 'vtkGenericRenderWindowInteractor' from 'vtkmodules.vtkRenderingCore' about pyvistaqt

I'm truly glad I could help! You may be the first person (besides me) to be using PySide2, so please let us know how it works for you. Your input is really appreciated.

pip supports installing packages directly from a git repository. To learn more see https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#git

The command for installing the master branch of pyvistaqt with pip would be: pip install git+https://github.com/pyvista/pyvistaqt.git@master#egg=pyvistaqt

So, I helped author #61. I updated the documentation to reflect the new qtpy support, but that only exists in the master branch, and will be available in the next release. If you use the master branch then pyvistaqt should work with qtpy.

I only now realize that the documentation online is not in agreement with the current release of pyvistaqt.

Thanks for the reply. I made fresh env and didn't use conda all packages install with pip. Also added the clang path. Now my error is different, "unexpected type 'PySide2.QtWidgets.QFrame'" which I saw was a previous issue.

Is this all related? If I use PyQt5 it seems to work well, so should I just not use PySide2?

Are you using the master branch of pyvistaqt, or are you using a version from pypi? In short, which version of pyvistaqt are you using?

Also, I'm really not sure if these issues are related, I should probably leave this to someone who knows more...

I'm using the pypi version atm. I used conda-forge version too with similar issues.

I think the issue is that the qtpy support is currently only in the master branch and not in any official release in pypi. The qtpy functionality will be incorporated into the next official release (0.3.0, I think). Unfortunately, the documentation online reflects the master branch and not the latest official release... I'm sorry about that.

If you want to use qtpy, then you will need to install the master branch. Otherwise, you could use pyqt5 for now and wait for the next release to use pyside2 (via qtpy). I hope this helps.

This does help a lot. At least I know I'm not going crazy... If I wanted to use the master branch how would I do that? I've very new to all of this.

Problem solved! Thus ends my two day struggle. Jesus H Christ. Thanks again.
