[PyKDE] pyqt on macos not functional

[Jay Lyerly]

Thanks.  That did the trick.

I recompiled with the rc for sip4 and everything works now.  I  
originally grabbed sip 3.11 b/c it listed OSX as working.  Only after  
reviewing the reqs for PyQt (as you stated) did I see that PyQt needs  
sip4 for the mac.

Cheers,
jay
