Installing PyQt4 on Mac OSx Mavericks?

http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download

I tried many solutions on internet including

brew install qt
brew install sip
brew install pyqt

to successfully install it on osx. I am using PyCharm IDE to python development and want to install it for python 3.

I just cannot download pyqt4 libraries to mac, is there some specific steps i need to follow? Easy way? Hard way? anything...

Sorry, I am new to mac world.

Solution

  • The easiest way I've found is to use MacPorts. Once installed, simply run

    sudo port install py34-pyqt4

    and it will do the rest - install Python 3.4, pyqt4, and all the dependencies. You'll need to configure PyCharm to use the MacPorts version of Python (found in /opt/local/bin), but after that you should be all set. There are many modules available through MacPorts, and for those that aren't you can always install py34-pip.
