Quick update: I now also managed to get things working with a newer version of MacPython (2.5.4) and everything looks fine. The trick seems to be that if a terminal window is open prior to the MacPython install, it will NOT use the new version of python. So one has to close it and open a new terminal window, and only then should one compile SIP and PyQt. Anyway, thanks again for the help. Morad -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
