I been stuck with this too, and i am new to Qt After some researching, and digging in source code, found the solution

You dont need to import it to use it since its a module it will implement itself to every qt input

Well you dont need to install it on PyQt5 but on Qt5 if it is not already come with your Qt package, if you use archlinux you can install it with pacman

pacman -S qt5-virtualkeyboard

If you cannot find it in you os repositories try to build it here is documantation https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtvirtualkeyboard-index.html

Then to use it in your pyqt application, set environmental variable QT_IM_MODULE to "qtvirtualkeyboard" either from your bash or inside the top your script like

import os
os.environ["QT_IM_MODULE"] = "qtvirtualkeyboard"
