* PyQt5 on MacOS X Mavericks [#b7d83d13]
>
This article introduces PyQt and explains how to install PyQt5 on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.5. This shows how to build Qt for OS X and bind to Python with PyQt.~

** About PyQt [#w58bbca2]
>
PyQt is one of GUI programming tools for Python. Specifically, PyQt is a Python binding for Qt, which is a cross platform GUI kit. There are several Python GUI programming tools: PySide, PyGTK, wxPython, Tkinter, and others.~
~
PyQt is developed by Riverbank Computing Ltd, and it offers two different types of software licences. One is for GPL, and the other is a usual commercial license. PyQt is a cross platform tool kit, so it supports Windows, Linux, and OS X. For the details of PyQt as well as Riverbank Ltd and/or download a copy of PyQt, please visit the URL below.~

** Installing Environment [#da64967a]
>
The hardware, which is used for this article, is a late 2012 model, and Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.5.~
 $ sw_vers
 ProductName:  Mac OS X
 ProductVersion:  10.9.5
 BuildVersion:  13F34
~
The version of Xcode is 6.0.1~
 $ xcode-select -p
 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
 $ xcodebuild -version
 Xcode 6.0.1
 Build version 6A317

** Installing Qt [#ub0a8b50]
>
Installing Qt, first. The version of Qt used here is 5.3.2. We have tried to download Qt Online Installer for OS X (qt-opemsource-mac-x64-1.6.0-5-online.dmg) and to install Qt.~
[[http://www.qt.io/download/]]~
~
However, as the installer did not support OS X 10.9.5 at that time, QtCreater did not work. Thus, Qt should be built from its source code and instal it.~
~
Please download the source code from the URL listed below. Qt's web page has been changed, and it is very difficult to navigate and to find the source code. Please try the URL below.~
[[http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.2/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.2.tar.gz]]~
~
Expand the file, move to the expanded file, and execute configure. There are no options for config. It remains as the default.~
~
 $ tar xvf  qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.2.tar.gz
 $ cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.2
 $ ./configure
 + cd qtbase
 + /Users/otsuka/Downloads/Qt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.2/qtbase/configure -top-level
 Which edition of Qt do you want to use ?
 
 Type 'c' if you want to use the Commercial Edition.
 Type 'o' if you want to use the Open Source Edition.
 
 o
 
 
 This is the Qt Open Source Edition.

While executing configure, the script will ask several questions about the edition and license of your Qt. This Q-A session acts as a config option, so please input your answers, properly. Eventually, Makefile shown below is created with config option.~

 Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
 Once everything is built, you must run 'make install'.
 Qt will be installed into /usr/local/Qt-5.3.2
 
 Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
 the previous build.
~

>
Then, using makefile, build and install Qt. (To build Qt, Mac mini needs a few hours.)~
~
 $ make
 $ sudo make install
~
As it is shown in Makefile, Qt is installed in the directory of /usr/local/qt-5.32.~

** Installing SIP [#ba91f85f]
>
To install PyQt,  you have to install SIP. SIP is developed and available at the developer of PyQt, Riverbank Computing Ltd. SIP is written in C/C++, and it is a tool that enables to create the Python library easily. This article uses the version of 4.16.3.~
~

[[http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/download]]~
~
Please download SIP 4.16.3 from the URL below.~
[[http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/sip/sip-4.16.3/sip-4.16.3.tar.gz]]~

>
Expand the downloaded file, and move to it. Using configure, create Makefile. Using Makefile, build and install SIP.~
~
 $ tar xvf sip-4.16.3.tar.gz
 $ cd sip-4.16.3
 $ python configure.py 
 This is SIP 4.16.3 for Python 2.7.5 on darwin.
 The SIP code generator will be installed in
 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin.
 The sip module will be installed in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages.
 The sip.h header file will be installed in
 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7.
 The default directory to install .sip files in is
 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/share/sip.

Completing the installation of PyQt, test whether PyQt is installed correctly or not. To examine its correct installation, execute examples, which are stored in PyQt source code archive. If these samples work well, the installation of PyQt is successful.~
~
Configure PYTHONPATH as it shown below, and execute qtdemo of samples.~

 $ export set PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
 $ cd PyQt-gpl-5.3.2/examples/qtdemo
 $ python qtdemo.py
