Answer 1

OSX 10.8.2 tested:

sudo pip install SIP

got IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip-build/SIP/setup.py'

It's ok then:

cd /tmp/pip-build/SIP
sudo python configure.py
make
sudo make install

download PyQt from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/PyQt4/PyQt-4.9.6/PyQt-mac-gpl-4.9.6.tar.gz

unzip it.

cd PyQt-mac-gpl-4.9.6
sudo python configure.py
make

it will take a while, after make then:

sudo make install    

Enjoy it :)
