[PyQt] Problem in installing PyQt on Mac OS X 10.6.2

[Jebagnana Das]

Based on this discussion
http://www.mail-archive.com/pyqt@riverbankcomputing.com/msg19856.html with
the help of my friend i found another thing that might be the cause for this
problem..

When i give $python on the terminal it invokes the default python 2.6 as we
all know..
Here sys.maxsize gives the value as 9223372036854775807

while giving $python3 on the terminal (invokes python 3 installation) gives
the value as  2147483647.

So one thing that is clear is that the default installation uses 64-bit and
python 3 uses 32-bit.

My question is even though i gave --arch i386 (which is clearly for 32-bit)
in SIP and PyQT configure as mentioned in the trolltech's official doc
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#configuring-sip-and-pyqt-for-macos-10-6-snow-leopardwhy
it's not giving this error..

 The error also seems like some kind of syntax error in the usage of SIP. Do
i need to modify PyQt installation scripts?

Need your help regarding this..

Thanks in advance..

Regards,
Jeba.
