<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks 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.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My 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>
