Hi guys, I'm having some issues installing Spyder through pip3. I'm running 
Ubuntu 14.04, and apt-get has an outdated version 
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spyder> of Spyder (2.3.0) which works 
appropriately and is installed like this:

sudo apt-get install spyder3

I uninstalled this version and successfully installed Spyder 2.3.4 via 
pip3, along with most of the other recommended packages. However, unlike 
the one installed via apt-get, this version of Spyder fails to find PyQt4. 
I tried running it after installing the PyQt4 package via apt-get 
(python-qt4) and then, by using the binary in the official website 
<http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download>, but both 
approaches failed.

After failing with PyQt4, I installed PySide 1.2.2 from pip3, but running 
Spyder afterwards gives me the following error:

*libpyside.cpython-34m.so.1.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory*.

Then, with Spyder 2.3.0 installed, I used

sudo pip3 install --upgrade spyder

to see if I could upgrade the distribution I had installed via apt-get (bad 
idea, I know, but bear with me). Even though pip3 said it had uninstalled 
Spyder 2.3.0 and installed 2.3.4, when I open Spyder and go to the "About" 
section, I'm still using version 2.3.0.

Can someone lend me a hand?
