Now, since then I've seen several posts suggesting other strategies. I can't yet bring myself to try them, especially considering that my Mac is no longer in an 'original state' considering all the mucking around I did before (and don't know how to undo). If (and when) PyQt ever becomes available with prebuilt binaries for Mac platform, I'll be all over it. Until then, probably not.
