A simple guide to install PyQt5 on Mac OS X 10.9 (Maverick) and use python 3.4 on a virtualenv.
- xcode 5.1.1
- python 3.4.0
- Qt libraries 5.2.1
- SIP 4.15.5
- PyQt 5.2.1
- install xcode
- install the Command Line Tools (open Xcode > Preferences > Downloads)
- install Qt libraries (qt-opensource-mac-x64-clang-5.2.1.dmg)
- install python 3.4
- create a virtual env (i.e. ~/.env/ariane_mail)
- unzip and compile SIP and PyQt
cd /var/tmp
cp /Users/gvincent/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.2.1.tar.gz .
cp /Users/gvincent/Downloads/sip-4.15.5.tar.gz .
tar xvf PyQt-gpl-5.2.1.tar.gz
tar xvf sip-4.15.5.tar.gz
cd sip-4.15.5/
python3 configure.py -d ~/.env/ariane_mail/lib/python3.4/site-packages --arch x86_64
make
sudo make install
sudo make clean
cd ../PyQt-gpl-5.2.1/
python3 configure.py --destdir ~/.env/ariane_mail/lib/python3.4/site-packages --qmake ~/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/clang_64/bin/qmake
make
sudo make install
sudo make clean
~/.env/ariane_mail/bin/python -c "import PyQt5"
How to fix it please?
