qtiPINT assumes that PyQt4 is the PyQT installed #11

plk.py and opensomething.py both assume qt4. I think matplotlib works around this using try/excepts to check for qt4 or qt5.

So I just noticed that the following simple change (after re-installing qtconsole via pip) makes things work for me (or at least I can the GUI to launch.

Oops... after pulling your latest changes, this no longer works. I'm seeing;

That's an issue with how they changed method names between Qt4 and Qt5, I'm pretty sure. I'm working on a Tkinter version of this right now which should eliminate a lot of these install version problems. When it gets to a decent state I'll make a repo for it and link it here.

The Tkinter interface has been added as the 'pintkinter' script in my fork of PINT, at https://github.com/jcolen/PINT
