Hi, Dan,

I am trying to get this to work on a macOS High Sierra machine.

I’ve installed Python3, because PyQt5 and its dependency SIP both require it.

When I go to install your module, using either

$ pip install. 

or 

$ python setup.py install

I get an error:

ImportError PyQt5

I installed SIP and PyQt5 using

pip3 install PyQt5

and it seemed be happy.

I imagine that this has to do with your code being python2 and PyQt5 being python3?

My python-fu is quite limited … any help is appreciated.
