I'm building an image with PyQt5 installed for RaspberryPi 3. On the target machine I get import error: root@raspberrypi3:~# python3 Python 3.5.6 (default, Jan 23 2019, 13:02:59) [GCC 8.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import PyQt5 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named 'PyQt5' This caused by the fact that PyQt5 is installed to /usr/lib/python3.5m/site-packages/ when all other python packages are in /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ (without 'm' suffix) and it could be fixed by setting the proper path in pyqt.cfg: pyqt_module_dir = ${D}/${libdir}/python${PYTHON_BASEVERSION}/site-packages instead of pyqt_module_dir = ${D}/${libdir}/python${PYTHON_BASEVERSION}${PYTHON_ABI}/site-packages (python3-pyqt5 recipe: https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/blob/thud/recipes-python/pyqt5/python3-pyqt5_5.11.3.bb) Similar problem exists in sip3 recipe, I get "ImportError: No module named 'PyQt5.sip'". It could be fixed by the following change in do_configure: sip_module_dir = ${D}/${libdir}/python${PYTHON_BASEVERSION}/site-packages instead of sip_module_dir = ${D}/${libdir}/python${PYTHON_BASEVERSION}${PYTHON_ABI}/site-packages Is there a bug or I'm misundestanding something?

Thanks for reporting the bug. Unfortunately, problems with PyQt5 aren't tracked on the Yocto bugzilla so I'm closing this defect. Please open an issue on: https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/issues
Yes, I'm going to report to meta-qt5 as well. But I suspect there is a bug in sip3 recipe too, which belongs to meta-oe layer.
Ah, I missed the sip_module_dir part of your report. You're right, that's in meta-oe but that layer also does not use the YP bugzilla (yet!) so could you send them a patch or report the issue on the email list: https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
