[PyQt] configure PyQt with anaconda

[scott zimmerman]

I ran configure.py in the pycharm debugger and discovered the first problem: anaconda is prepending it's own bin directory to the path that is returned by os.environ.get in _find_exe.
 
A second problem is that TargetConfiguration.__init__ is called in main before parsing the command line. Since find_exe does find an old qmake.exe, it ignores --qmake when I try to specify the path.
 
So I temporarily hard-coded the initialization of self.qmake in TargetConfiguration.__init__ (instead of calling _find_exe).
 
The script ran further until it reaches a third problem that I haven't debugged:  Error: nmake is not recognized as a command.
 
fyi, self.qmake_spec = 'win32-msvc2015'

Previously I edited the environment variable with the system app, and then VS command prompt prepended other folders to the front of the path. So now in that same command prompt, I did this to put the bin folder on the very front of the path.
 
1. changed dir into the pyqt folder
2. path=\python\qt\5.5\msvc2013_64\bin;%path%
3. python configure.py
 
gets error "PyQt5 requires Qt v5.0."

It reports:
 
qmake version 3.0
using qt version 3.5.1 in c:/python/qt/5.5/msvc2013_64/lib
 
Although it reports "/lib", qmake.exe is in /bin
