I abandoned MacPorts and manually installed SIP and PyQt. There gets to be a bit of confusion with the system python on OSXand whatever macports installs. I used the enthought python distribution for osx as a starting point, then:
1. install QT using the source tar ball here<http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/qt-for-open-source-cpp-development-on-mac-os-x> 2. install SIP from Riverbank here<http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/sip/intro> 3. install PyQt from RIverbank here<http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download> Theres a bit more rambling about this on my blog here<http://www.locuscor.net/wordpress/?p=116> . I fully agree that spyder on OSX needs help. Such a great tool, though. Thanks Carlos, Pierre etc. Good luck!
