I guess, that your are using two different python environments, one with and 
the other without sip installed. 

Look yourself:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 87156 15. Okt 14:16 /usr/lib/python/site-packages/sipconfig.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3332 15. Okt 14:16 /usr/lib/python/site-packages/sipdistutils.py
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 86600 15. Okt 14:16 /usr/lib/python/site-packages/sip.so*

but my installations are simple minded: I use just one python (and not even python3).
