Answer 3

In PyQt5 "QtWebKitWidgets" is Deprecated. I just replace this line

from PyQt5.QtWebKitWidgets import QWebView, QWebPage
from PyQt5.QtWebKit import QWebSettings

With this code:

from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView as QWebView,QWebEnginePage as QWebPage
from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineSettings as QWebSettings

Answer 4

QtWebKit got deprecated upstream in Qt 5.5 and removed in 5.6.
