... We've discussed this a bit and don't really agree with the premise. The examples are provided as part of the documentation that goes with PyQt5 and are not really meant to be executed without further consideration. PyQt5 is split into multiple binaries to allow systems to only have the parts of PyQt5 and Qt5 installed that are needed. If the examples package had a dependency (or recommends) on everything that was needed to run every example, then to look at any example, it might be needed to install many extra dependencies that aren't relevant to the example a person is interested in. We do agree that we ought to document what packages are needed to run the examples as package suggests. That would make it easy for someone who wants to run the examples to install all the needed packages while still not requiring it for everyone. Scott K
