Thanks for the hints Kevin.

I think I have that option in there because I had problems packaging  
the framework builds with py2app. I should try it again, if only to  
find out why I needed the -no-framework option. Do you know if py2app  
will handle a framework build of Qt?

I didn't have a problem building Qt or SIP, the only problem I had  
was with PyQt. The errors I had were rather strange--looked like  
something was wrong with SIP. Unfortunately I was not able to find  
any older versions of SIP to try them out (i.e. versions 4.5 or 4.6).  
Have you successfully (on Mac OS) built PyQt 4.4.3 ?

Thanks.
