Coy,

first point: can PyQwt questions go to the PyQt/PyKDE mailing list?

Ideas:
(1) Easy answer: cvs versions are not supported. Because Phil is still
improving sip, he introduces incompatible changes, making it virtually
impossible to keep up with cvs. I have supported some PRE releases.
If you into the sip files you see what I have to do to support
2.5 AND 3.0 in the same package.

(2) Helpful answer: Send me the output of "sip -V" and I can send
you a patch for the distutils scripts in PyQwt. The distutils scripts
use "sip -V" to select 2.5 or 3.0 and produce a suitable sip/qwt.sip
from sip/qwt.sip.in. It happens that sip/qwt.sip in the
tar.bz2 is for sip-2.5 and since sip-cvs is not recognized
sip/qwt.sip does not get overwritten by a version for sip-3.0.
For me it is easy to adapt the distutils scripts.
If there are no changes in the sip specification language
affecting PyQwt, it will work.
