Adam,

The Mac being FreeBSD-based is a different animal than Windows. It comes with all the *nix tools installed including Python, gcc, make, etc. Windows does not come with these tool thus making a binary installer much more desirable on Windows.

Installing PyQt on the Mac is quite easy. I highly recommend installing Qt from sources however. There are dependencies on the current tools (Python version, etc. which is already installed on the Mac) and Qt version which make the normal:

        python configure.py
        make
        sudo make install

process desirable.

Installing QScintilla (and the Python bindings) on the Mac is quite another matter due to some Mac-specific quirks. I have recently posted the changes required to make this work. If you have any problems with this let me know.

Are there plans for a binary installer for Mac like the recently
announced installer for Windows? Just curious...
