Conflict between python-pyqt4 and python-pyqt5

Hi!

When trying to use matplotlib in the Spyder Python IDE I get the following error

RuntimeError: the PyQt5.QtCore and PyQt4.QtCore modules both wrap the QObject class

It's obviously a conflict between pyqt4 and pyqt5. However, pyqt4 is a hard dependency of Spyder and pyqt5 is a hard dependency of matplotlib. Outside Spyder, matplotlib works fine.

Does anybody know how to resolve this conflict? Or is it a packaging issue? Shall I file a bug report? I think a discussion about matplotlib depending on Qt5 had already been going on here.

Does it work with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pyth … tlib-noqt/ ?
I think it's OK to open a bug report.
