Delete/Reinstall /System/Frameworks/Python.framework - definitely not (last resort), that would mean reinstalling the whole system, and I doubt pyqt corrupted the system python.  Clearing out those sip/pyqt files in there as I mentioned, yes.  In fact, a clean system python doesn't have a "site-packages" folder (that's what /Library/Python is for) so you can delete that folder.

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages

Certainly trashing sip/pyqt files in /library/Python and rebuilding might help.

Other than that, I don't know anything about pyqt to say if there's anything wrong in your ui code, but it sounds like there may just be a syntax problem there.
