According to this link:

http://python.sourceforge.net/devel-docs/api/typeObjects.html

PyType_IsSubtype is new in Python 2.2, so it appears
something compiled against Python is out of sync.
Py_IsSubtype is not available in SuSE7.3 which still
uses Python 2.1, as her rpm -q indicates. grepping
around and using nm, I couldn't find any reference
to PyType_IsSubtype in my 7.3 install, or anywhere
in sip/PyQt. I might have missed something, but it
appears to be a Python version related problem.
