The reason I do this is to make it easier to separate files installed by 
Debian packages and files installed by custom-compiled source packages.

I agree that searching sys.path would solve the problem. I assume by 
"complicates the build.py code too much" you're referring to the additional 
option for the location of PyQt modules? I don't see how.

I think so. libsip is in the same directory. I install everything into 
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages.

These are the build.py commands I use:

sip: python2.2 build.py -b /usr/local/bin -d 
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages -e /usr/local/include/python2.2 
-fno-exceptions -l qt-mt -u
pyqt: python2.2 build.py -b /usr/local/bin -c -d 
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages -e /usr/local/include/python2.2 
-fno-exceptions -l qt-mt -n /usr/local/include -o /usr/local/lib -s 
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages -u
pykde: python2.2 build.py -d /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages -e 
/usr/local/include/python2.2 -k /usr -s 
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages -v 
~/downloads/python/pyqt/PyQt-x11-gpl-3.7/sip

BTW, on a related note, are you still going to apply my patch 
'PyKDE-3.5-2_subclass.patch' or some form of it? I had to apply it myself now 
to make my application work.

Thanks,
Gordon
