Update: I removed all old SIP/PyQt installs (I think I got them all) as well as the python.org version of python. Reinstalled everything from the Installation Guide, but alas I am still getting the same error. I think I may have found the solution though, it looks like it may be a known bug https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/2985. There is a diff included that might fix it. Is applying a diff difficult? (ha). I will poke around the internet and see if I can find out how to do it. Any direction would be appreciated.
