title: Uninstalling PyQt5 to install PyQt4
body: <p>I use Windows 7 and Python 3.4 (32bit). I installed PyQt5 and proceeded watching tutorials on how to use the module. However, the tutorial used PyQt4 instead and I faced problems. So, I decided to switch from PyQt5 to the older, PyQt4. I installed PyQt5 using the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/PyQt5/PyQt-5.4.2/PyQt5-5.4.2-gpl-Py3.4-Qt5.4.2-x32.exe" rel="nofollow">Windows Installers.</a></p>
  
  <p>When I proceeded to install PyQt4, it gives me this error message: <strong>A copy of PyQt5 for Python v3.4 is installed in C:\Python34 and must be uninstalled first.</strong></p>
  
  <p>After checking the documentation, it said that we couldn't have both PyQt4 and PyQt5 installed at the same time, unless we built from source. I'm not sure how to build from source on Windows but after trying(extracting sip, running configure.py; extracting PyQt4, running configure-ng.py/configure.py) I still get a bunch of errors namely:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>something Qmake related</p></li>
  <li><p>Import Error: No module named sipconfig.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I gave up trying to build from source and instead just wanted to uninstall PyQt5 so I could use PyQt4. I deleted the sip folder and PyQt4 from the botched installation <strong>first</strong>. Then, I deleted PyQt5 itself from site-packages as well as qt.conf in C:\Python34.</p>
  
  <p>Running the binaries for PyQt4 still gives me the PyQt5 is installed error message. <strong>How do I uninstall PyQt5 completely so that I can install PyQt4?</strong> Thanks.</p>
