Hmm, Macports. It's great for those who want a familiar packagae- manager setup or just don't want to get their fingers dirty compiling source. It adds itself to your PATH and can cause trouble for non- Macports builds (getting wrong versions of tools in the system, like GNU vs. BSD versions, wrong libs linked). I don't mean to start a debate over it, just pointing out that you might want to look at trying to do things the Mac way first, like installers where available.

Python does have up-to-date installers for a more Mac-standard Python framework install.

Even if you don't use macports for pyqt, you might consider it for managing a whole slew of other apps, just like you would on a linux box or a windows+cygwin box.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been using Gentoo for about 5 years
and Ubuntu for 2, and am trying macports now.
