I finally got around updating to SuSE 9.0, and made a first
attempt to build rpms for sip4 & PyQt.

First impression: very well. sip4 makes the whole project looking
__much__ nicer. Congratulations.

sip4 built well, but PyQt-20031027 refused to link the GL stuff 
properly: ld: cannot find -lXmu
I had to apply this patch to get through it:

Unfortunately, sip4 seem to have problems with class variables of
certain Qt derived classes, and throws errors like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/hp/src/python/qt/epsutil/epsutil.py", line 288, in polish
    m = self.cfg.model
AttributeError: cfg

    wh = self.cfg.mainScreenSize
AttributeError: cfg

Here is the corresponding source excerpt:

class mainWindow(epsDial):
    def __init__(self, app, parent = None, name = None, fl = 0):
        self.app = app
        self.model = None
        self.cfg = config.Config()
        self.cfg.load()
        if styleDict.has_key(self.cfg.style):
            app.setStyle(styleDict[self.cfg.style]())
        # set up parent
        epsDial.__init__(self, parent, name, fl)
        wh = self.cfg.mainScreenSize
        if wh:
            self.resize(wh[0], wh[1])
        xy = self.cfg.mainScreenLocation
        if xy:
            self.move(xy[0], xy[1])

You see, self.cfg definitely exists at that point.

Any ideas?
