I am writing an RQT plugin and when I attempt to build it there are no warnings but when the system attempts to load the plugin I get the following output:

It seems like it is missing the QWidget in the python_qt_binding

 RosPluginProvider.load(juno_safe_button/juno_safe_button) exception raised in __builtin__.__import__(juno_safe_button.juno_safe_button, [JunoSafeButton]):

rqt in Kinetic uses Qt 5 and in Qt 5 the Widget class is defined in QtWidgets rather then QtGui.

Dirk Thomas is right. So for the lazy guys, a quick fix might be:

#from python_qt_binding.QtGui import QWidget  # <= old line commented out
from python_qt_binding.QtWidgets import QWidget  # <= new line added
