Electrum error "Could not import PyQt4 on Linux systems" on Mac OS X

[terminus]

I am trying to run the latest Electrum on the latest Mac OS X, but I get this error:

$ ./electrum
Error: Could not import PyQt4 on Linux systems, you may try 'sudo apt-get install python-qt4'

$ brew list
libpng   pyqt   qt   sip

$ ls /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
PyQt4      sip.so      sipconfig.py   sipconfig.pyc   sipdistutils.py

How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Had the same problem.

Run or add this command to ~/.bash_profile:

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
