PYQT5 for maya

Yes, PyQt5 can be used for developing plugins and custom user interfaces in Autodesk Maya. PyQt5 is a Python binding for the Qt framework, which provides a wide range of tools and libraries for creating cross-platform applications with rich graphical user interfaces.

To use PyQt5 in Maya, you need to ensure that you have PyQt5 installed on your system. You can install it using pip by running the following command:

pip install PyQt5

Once you have PyQt5 installed, you can start developing custom UIs by importing the necessary modules and creating your interface using Qt's widget classes. Here is a simple example:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QPushButton, QApplication

class MyWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.setWindowTitle("My Maya Window")
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 300, 200)

        button = QPushButton("Click me", self)
        button.setGeometry(100, 100, 100, 30)
        button.clicked.connect(self.buttonClicked)

    def buttonClicked(self):
        print("Button clicked!")

app = QApplication([])
window = MyWindow()
window.show()
app.exec_()

This is just a basic example to get you started. You can create more complex UIs by using different types of widgets provided by PyQt5. Remember to refer to the PyQt5 documentation for detailed information on how to use its features and classes.
