I'm trying to install the latest version of PyQt4 for windows. Riverbank doesn't provide binary installer anymore. I downloaded the source package and when I try to follow the instructions by running python configure.py I get an error message that I need SIP 4.18 or later version to be installed. I try to install sip using pip3 install sip (as it's explained here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SIP/4.19), but it fails to install.

Would you please help me in this?

what is your compiler? – eyllanesc Aug 29 '17 at 04:26
I'm using Anaconda 3 – E. Aly Aug 29 '17 at 04:44
If you are going to compile the source code you need a compiler for example visual (msvc), and seeing that you confuse between a compiler and conda I recommend looking at conda pyqt4 precompiled and do not use the source code since I see that you are a beginner. – eyllanesc Aug 29 '17 at 04:46
In addition to compile you need to have qt4 installed. – eyllanesc Aug 29 '17 at 04:47
for example the following package: https://anaconda.org/ales-erjavec/pyqt4 – eyllanesc Aug 29 '17 at 04:49
I'm a beginner indeed, and the point is that I'm having difficulty installing pyqt4 – E. Aly Aug 29 '17 at 08:04
