PyQt4 in Mac OS X for Python 3 doesn't seem to work

I installed PyQT4 in Mac OS X El Capitan for Python 3 using the instructions given in this answer. The instructions gave the following commands: 

brew install python3
brew install qt
brew install sip --with-python3
brew install pyqt --with-python3

which I run with no problems at all. I then added this line to my .bashrc file: 

PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

I verified Python 3 was running correcly. I also correctly evaluated the following code within Python 3:

import PyQT4

Now, when I try to run this simple program, nothing happens:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QtGui.QWidget()
window.show()

After running it, no window opens and nothing happens. I get no error or warning messages. Any ideas of what's going on in here?

This is correct. When you run your code, nothing is supposed to happen, and the application should immediately exit without any errors. Your example translated to C++ will behave identically, too.

Perhaps you wished to spin the event loop? app.exec() will do that.
