As far as eric3 is concerned Qt 3.1.2, QScintilla 1.0, PyQt 3.6 and sip 
3.6 is absolutely ok. Please be aware that you have to have compatible 
versions of qscintilla, sip and PyQt. When you compile the stuff and run 
eric3 (or install) please make sure, that QTDIR is set to the correct 
version of Qt. Also make sure, that you have removed all stuff from your 
previous PyQt installation attempts and have a clean installation.
