Python PyQt on macOS Sierra

Question

How can I get to work PyQt 4 or 5 on a Mac with OS X Sierra? It seems that I have to wait for a new version of PyQt but I am not sure if that is actually true.

If you still get the import error, you should also add

PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/"
export PYTHONPATH

to your ~/.bash_profile file after you applied the above stated steps, then it should work fine (make sure that PyQt4 is installed in that folder). I have installed python with conda and this import error seems to be related to anaconda.
