If you have multiple Qt versions in your environment, you can force pyqtgraph to use a specific binding by setting the PYQTGRAPH_QT_LIB environment variable:
https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/blob/master/pyqtgraph/Qt/__init__.py#L23 Unfortunately, this functionality isn't documented, but we have no plans in removing it. Having multiple Qt bindings is an issue for people who install matplotlib using the conda defaults channel (which installs PyQt5 5.9, which pyqtgraph does not support). A couple of other workarounds, in that case, involve installing matplotlib via pip, or installing the conda-forge variant of matplotlib.
