ImportError: 
Could not load requested Qt binding. Please ensure that
PyQt4 >= 4.7 or PySide >= 1.0.3 is available,
and only one is imported per session.

Currently-imported Qt library:   None
PyQt4 installed:                 False
PySide >= 1.0.3 installed:       False
Tried to load:                   ['pyside']

I've done the following command to set pyQt4 installed to True and is working ok

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

Now, I want to install pyside but a I've some errors:

Answer 1

Since I know, cmake is not a python package. It is a build tool. So, all you have to do is install it. You can get it from here: CMake site

Also, you should check if the Apple development tools does have cmake already.

Answer 2

The documentation about building and installing PySide on MacOSX is here http://pyside.readthedocs.org/en/latest/building/macosx.html
