[PyQt] pyuic4 problem

[David Quinn]

Thanks for the advice, William.

I followed the instructions for installation (though I could not find
all the files to delete). I now received the following error message:

david$ pyuic4
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/pyuic.py", line 4,
in <module>
    from PyQt4 import QtCore
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PyQt4/QtCore.so,

  Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PyQt4/QtCore.so
  Expected in: flat namespace

My .bash_profile looks like this:

# Setting PATH for MacPython 2.6
# The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

#export PATH

test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh

export PYTHONPATH

export PYTHONPATH

PATH = "/Users/david/Apps/rhythmbox-0.9.3.1:${PATH}"

This is really not a good idea, as Apple can easily zap things, and as you've found the executables aren't found (the framework is not in the standard shell PATH), and there IS a standard user module path.
