Install SIP and PyQT4 (pyenv, pyenv-virtualenv)

Download

pyenv virtualenv

Switch to the Python version you want to use:

pyenv shell 2.7.9

Create the virtualenv:

pyenv virtualenv <name-of-virtualenv>

Activate the virtualenv:

pyenv activate <name-of-virtualenv>

Find out what the path to the virtualenv is:

ls ~/.pyenv/versions

It will most likely look something like: ~/.pyenv/versions/<name-of-virtualenv>

Install SIP

Change to the directory where the SIP source was extracted:

cd /path/to/src/SIP

Configure, and make sure to include python2.7 for the virtualenv:

python configure.py --incdir=~/.pyenv/versions/<name-of-virtualenv>/include/python2.7

Then compile and install:

make
make install

Install PyQt4

cd /path/to/src/PyQt4
python configure.py
make
make install
