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

[Marius Shekow]

Hi,

I'm not so sure whether the issue is just PyCharm. I can't seem to import PyQt5 packages in the python3 interpreter (run from the Terminal) either. When I make and install the dynamically-linked version of SIP and PyQt5, everything works (including skeleton-generation in PyCharm).

I'm wondering: which files/dirs *should* be present in my site-packages/PyQt5 directory for allowing PyQt5-based programs to work? As I said before, I just have an __init__.py (without any actual Python code), a bunch of .a files and a uic directory, nothing else.

At some point I'll also test a "completely static" set up (except for Qt itself), i.e. also compiling Python as static build first.

Best regards,
Marius Shekow
