[PyQt] Can't use static PyQ5 build during development on Mac OS X

[Zachary Scheuren]

I don't think static has anything to do with it. This is an issue with
inconsistent PyCharm skeleton generation.
See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-14103 and
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-14235
I use PyQt4 and PyQt5 on Mac/Linux/Windows with PyCharm and with some
configurations I get this same annoying issue, but not always.
As stated in the link above you should be able to copy the generated
skeletons from another setup to get code completion working for now.
