I have the same question (and another), and suspect this issue could
affect any Linux distro's users running multiple versions of Python or
Qt. 

Debian's python1.5.2 packages are under /usr, ActivePython-2.0 is in
/usr/local, Qt is 2.2.3 in /usr.  sip and PyQtpre will go into
/usr/local.  python1.5.2 and 2.0 were made to co-exist with:
python -> python1.5, python2.0 -> local/.../bin/python2.0,
and telling all the ActivePython executable scripts to use python2.0.

In addition to Sean's question...

Am I going to need two builds of both sip and PyQt, or can I get away
with building for python2.0 only (i.e., how usable would the resulting 
PyQt be with python1.5.2)?
