This is a good first step to switching from pyqt4 to pyqt5, https://github.com/CampbellGroup/common/issues/155#issuecomment-328991858

Changes here should not be merged into master, but into branches working on https://github.com/CampbellGroup/common/issues/155

@jayich @theoriginaljuice I ran into a very big issue immediately, PyQt5 does not support python 2.7 and in fact does not have an installer for python 2.7 so one would have to do a custom unsupported build which is what I suppose anaconda does, however if PyQt5 or anaconda decides to be incompatible completely with 2.7 (at least in there installers of which only anaconda works) well all be up a creek... Any suggestions here would be helpful but its seems to me upgrading to PyQt5 is blocked by upgrading to Python3

@aransfor , okay, good to know. Definitely sounds like we are blocked.
