It is likely that you are running the python executable from /usr/bin (Apple version) instead of /usr/loca/bin (Brew version)

You can either

a) check your PATH variable

or

b) run brew doctor

or

c) run which python

to check if it is the case.

You have to check which Python you are using  I had the same problem because the Python I was using was not the same one that brew was using  In your command line    which python output   usr bin python which brew output   usr local bin brew       nbsp  nbsp  nbsp  nbsp   so they are different cd  usr local lib python2 7 site-packages ls nbsp  nbsp      you can see PyQt4 and sip are here Now you need to add usr local lib python2 7 site-packages to your python path  open    bash profile    nbsp  nbsp   you will open your bash profile file in your editor Add    export PYTHONPATH  usr local lib python2 7 site-packages  PYTHONPATH      to your bash file and save it Close your terminal and restart it to reload the shell python   import PyQt4  nbsp  nbsp     it is ok now

After brew install pyqt  you can brew test pyqt which will use the python you have got in your PATH in oder to do the test  show a Qt window    For non-brewed Python  you ll have to set your PYTHONPATH as brew info pyqt will tell   Sometimes it is necessary to open a new shell or tap in order to use the freshly brewed binaries   I frequently check these issues by printing the sys path from inside of python  python -c  import sys  print sys path   The   brew --prefix  lib pythonX Y site-packages have to be in the sys path in order to be able to import stuff  As said  for brewed python  this is default but for any other python  you will have to set the PYTHONPATH
