Error installing PyQt5

Question

I am trying to install PyQt 5 on my Mac osx 10.9, so I did the following:

I downloaded SIP and installed it.
I downloaded QT 5.3.2 and installed it by its installer, so now its installed in

/Users/username/Qt

so i have added it to the path by doing this

PATH=/Users/gollahalli/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin:$PATH

and

export PATH

python3 configure.py --qmake /Users/username/Desktop/PyQt

but i still get this error

Error: PyQt5 requires Qt v5.0 or later. You seem to be using v3. Use the --qmake flag to specify the correct version of quake.

Any idea what went wrong?

You could point --qmake directly to the binary rather than the toplevel directory. In my case this was:

python3 configure.py --qmake ~/Qt5.4.1/5.4/clang_64/bin/qmake
