Question

I may be doing something wrong, but I have been trying to install pyside on Mac 10.12 (Sierra). Here is what I tried (after installing Qt with brew):

Answer 1

I have MAC osSierra (10.12.6). I needed to install PySide 1.2.4 for Python 3.3.6. I did the following to build and install PySide 1.2.4 that I need. You can do the following for any Python 3.3.x, I guess.

I am a newbie to Mac and Python. Please ignore if I have any mistakes.

• Install pyenv
  brew install pyenv
• Install Python 3.3.6 using pyenv
  pyenv install 3.3.6
• Add python 3.3.6 into system path
  PATH="/Users/myname/.pyenv/versions/3.3.6/bin:${PATH}"
  export PATH
• Install Xcode from app store, then run the following. Xcode download and install took 30-40 minutes for me.
  xcode-select --install
  sudo xcodebuild -license
• Install cmake
  brew install cmake
• Verify cmake is installed. I see version 3.10.0 installed
  cmake —version
• Tap qt4. Note: I tried qt5, but pyside build is not working for me with qt5.
  brew tap cartr/qt4
  brew tap-pin cart/qt4
• Install qt@4.
  brew install qt@4
• Verify qmake is installed. I see version 2.01a installed
  qmake —version
  (If qmake is not recognized, create links to it using below command)
  brew link cartr/qt4/qt@4 —-force
• If you are using “PySide.QtWebKit” in your programs, you need to install qt-webkit. Install pyside (1.2.2 ??), which will install qt-webkit. I am not sure if qt-webkit can be installed directly, if so someone can correct me.
  brew install pyside
• Download PySide 1.2.4 tar file.
  wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/P/PySide/PySide-1.2.4.tar.gz
• Untar the tar file
  tar -xvf PySide-1.2.4.tar.gz
• Go into the folder
  cd PySide-1.2.4
• Build pyside. This build step took almost 30-40 minutes for me
  python setup.py bdist_wheel
• Verify that “dist” folder is created and it has pyside wheel file in it.
• Go into the “dist” folder
  cd dist
• Instal PySide, last step!!
  pip install PySide-1.2.4-cp33-cp33m-macosx_10_12_x86_64.whl
• Congratulations!, now you have PySide 1.2.4 for Python 3.3.x
