Hello Janneke, I think I remember that qGIS can run without pyQGIS, so you should be good on "regular" functionality with qGIS.
However, for python support you need a more recent version of python sip. Instructions for installing that can be found here: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/sip4/installation.html Good luck!
