<p>I was wondering about that. Chimera's PyQt5 package is actually
named PyQt5_commercial. It should be possible to install
PyQtChart outside of the system location, you just need to insure
that all of its binary dependencies are in memory before it is
loaded. But you would need to compile and package your own
version. Way easier to stick with matplotlib.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Another option is to use the PyQtWebEngine functionality and use
a JavaScript plotting library. The ViewDock tool does that.</p>

for the response. I've tried what you suggested, and
unfortunately the same thing happens. It looks as though pip
doesn't recognize ChimeraX's PyQt5 as satisfactory.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am
starting to second pyqtchart. It looks as though QChart goes
right in the PyQt5 directory. I've tried to cheese this with
importlib to no avail (wouldn't use it even if it did). If the
QChart module has to get installed inside ChimeraX's PyQt5,
users would probably have to run ChimeraX with privileges when
they install my bundle (at least on windows if they used the
default install location). I don't want that, so I'll probably
stick with matplotlib.

bundle will be on the toolshed after I get my own tools to
work (preferably as intended) and we get our dependency up on
PyPI. IMO, manually installing AaronTools is the most involved
part of my bundle's installation. The toolshed won't make that
easier until it's on PyPI. On top of that, I've got several
tools that don't do what I want.

<p>The easiest solution for you would be for ChimeraX to
bundle in the compatible version of PyQtChart. But we can't
without releasing ChimeraX under the GPL license. And
we're not willing to do that at this time.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So the next best thing is for you to give an explicit
version in the dependency tag. Right now, ChimeraX is using
PyQt5 5.12.3 with Qt 5.12.8. So the dependencies should be
(untested!):</p>
<p> ...<br>
<Dependencies><br>
<Dependency name="pyqtchart" version="==5.12"/</p>
<p> <Dependency name="ChimeraX-Core"
version="~=1.0rc1"/></p>
<p></Dependencies><br>
...</p>
<p>And after the ChimeraX 1.0 release, change that dependency
to "~=1.0.0", and you should consider making your bundle
generally available on the ChimeraX Toolshed. Later, when
ChimeraX 1.1 comes out that uses a different version of
PyQt, you will need to make a new release of your bundle
with those dependencies. That is, your bundle will need to
be tied to the exact version of ChimeraX.<br>
