An undefined symbol related to sipProxy is usually because SIP has been
compiled with Qt support disabled. This happens if the SIP configure
script can't find Qt (particularly the header files). Have a look at the
output of running configure again, and let me know where Qt is installed
on your system.

No, Python already has it's own thread support. For the same reason I
don't plan on implementing the Qt XML classes.
