Setting up a development environment in OSX™
============================================

(work in progress)

* Make sure you're using a new enough version of pip (1.8 or newest).
This will make all the problems with ``cryptography`` going away, since it will
install the statically built wheel.

* Use ``brew`` to install ``OpenSSL``.

* **Problem**: pyqt5 in homebrew stopped shipping qtwebkit. I found the following
workaround in an issue in qutebrowser's repo, works fine for me for now::

  cd $(brew --prefix)/Library/Formula
  curl -OO
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/f802822b0fa35ad362aebd0101ccf83a638bed37/Library/Formula/{py,}qt5.rb
  brew install qt5 pyqt5
