PyQt5 cannot import name 'QApplication'

I am trying convert my code from PyQt4 to PyQt5 but I am getting errors.

from PyQt5.QtGui import QApplication, QPixmap
desktop = QApplication.desktop()
QPixmap.grabWindow(desktop.screen().winId()).save("screen.png", "PNG")


3.4.3 (v3.4.3:9b73f1c3e601, Feb 24 2015, 22:44:40) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AMD64)]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python34\Projects\name.py", line 7, in <module>
    from PyQt5.QtGui import QApplication, QPixmap
ImportError: cannot import name 'QApplication'

QApplication is in PyQt5.QtWidgets.

So it should be

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
