          After trial and error I can suggest the following:



          sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-pyqt4 
          python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtsvg python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit
          sudo pip3 install -U spyder


          The result: you have Spyder3 installed and its About Spyder window contains




          Spyder 3.2.4

          ...

          Python 3.5.2 64bits, Qt 5.5.1, PyQt5 5.5.1 on Linux




          Tested on clean Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS amd64 install.
