I would like to install spyder (the math IDE for python, here 2.7) on my windows 8.1 machine.I did install python starting from;.I did install pip after having installed setuptools, following for these installations;.I did change my path to add C:Python27 and C:Python27Scripts to it, digging into the advanced parameters of my PC's properties. (By the way, I can't beleive the way you do this on windows has not changed for ages, with such a small input where you forgot to go at the end of the value when adding your path.).I did install spyder pip install spyderBut when launching it in command line (it's in the path:-) ), I ran through this error: RuntimeError: Please check Spyder installation requirements:PyQt4 4.4+ (or PySide 1.1.1+) is required.Which is truly true. Though,.when trying to pip PyQt4: No distributions at all found for PyQt4.when trying to pip PySide, I have many errors, the root one seeming that it is unable to find nmakeAny piece of advice? From the details in your question, it looks like you are missing both PyQt4 and Qt itself.There are binary installers for Windows available from the. These installers include both PyQt and Qt (as well as various other tools such as Qt Designer).

To ensure that everything is fine, try to import PyQt5 as we did before and everything should be OK. Using source (On Windows) Since SIP needs GCC compiler,.
The only things not included are the Qt documentation, and Python itself (which you seem to have already installed).Just be careful to select the right installer from the list of Binary Packages: i.e. The one for Python-2.7, plus whatever architecture is appropriate for your system.
