            'example=example.__main__:main',
        ],
    },
    install_requires=[
        'PyQt5',
        'Qt.py',
    ],
    options=[
        'build_qt': {

            'languages_dir': 'languages',  # optional ('languages' is default)
            'bindings': 'PyQt5',           # optional ('PyQt5' is default)
            'replacement_bindings': 'Qt',  # optional (for Qt.py wrapper usage)
        },
    ],
    cmdclass={
        'build_qt': build_qt,
    },
