Setting up your environment:

1. 1. 1. Follow the official instruction to prepare your Environment > Autodesk Developer Documentation
      2. Download SIP and PyQt source. I downloaded ‘sip-4.19.13’ and ‘PyQt5_gpl-5.11.3’. Unzip them into one folder.
      3. Put in the same folder the script (only the script on the ‘win’ folder) available on Github
      4. Backup your qt.conf  located on  C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\bin and replace with the following code:

         [Paths]
         Prefix=$(MAYA_LOCATION)
         Libraries=lib
         Binaries=bin
         Headers=include/Qt
         Data=.
         Plugins=qt-plugins
         Translations=qt-translations
         Qml2Imports=qml 

      5. Unzip  the package C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\include\qt-5.6.1_vc14-include.zip in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\include\Qt
      6. Unzip the package C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\include\qt-5.6.1_vc14-mkspecs.zip in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\mkspecs
      7. Modify the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\mkspecs\mkspecs\common\msvc-destop.conf. Find QMAKE_LIBS_QT_ENTRY and make sure is -lqtmain -lshell32.
      8. Rename the folder inside C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\include\Qt\qtnfc to qtnfc.disabled
      9. Install Visual Studio 2017 Community > Download
      10. Install the Python package manager Pip by execute with mayapy.exe this py file get-pip using the command prompt as Administrator C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\bin\mayapy.exe youPath\get-pip.py
      11. Install using pip the setuptools and enum34 with the following command

          C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\bin\mayapy.exe -m pip install setuptools 
          C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2019\bin\mayapy.exe -m pip install enum34

      12. Run the following scripts (the previous downloaded from github) lauching them with the VS2017 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt (as Administrator):
          1. 1. setup.bat
             2. sip.bat
             3. pyqt.bat
      13. At this point you’re done! The last thing to do is to test it! SO launch Maya and try the following code :

          import sys
          from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QWidget, QToolTip, QPushButton)
          from PyQt5.QtGui import QFont    
           
          class Example(QWidget):
              def __init__(self):
                  super(Example,self).__init__()
                  self.initUI()
          
              def initUI(self):
                  QToolTip.setFont(QFont('SansSerif', 10))
                  self.setToolTip('This is a <b>QWidget</b> widget')
                  btn = QPushButton('Button', self)
                  btn.setToolTip('This is a <b>QPushButton</b> widget')
                  btn.resize(btn.sizeHint())
                  btn.move(50, 50)
                  self.setGeometry(300, 300, 300, 200)
                  self.setWindowTitle('Tooltips')
                  self.show()
                  
          ex = Example()

       

      P.S.: Remember that you must to restore the qt.conf or you get an error when Maya try to load the plugin .

      Hope all that’s info are usefull for others.Cheers
