[PyQt] Installing PyQT on a Mac 10.5.8 PPC

[bestenborstel]

Dear List,

I tried William's suggestions after installing the current SDK QT Mac  
version.
Again I got the this time the error:

wk-28-229:PyQt-mac-gpl-4.7.4 gudrun$ python configure.py -d /Library/ 
Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/site-packages/ -b /usr/local/

Make sure
your Qt v4 installation is correct.

It is a bit different by:
/bin/sh: qtdirs.app/Contents/MacOS/qtdirs: Bad CPU type in executable
Error: qtdirs.app/Contents/MacOS/qtdirs failed to create qtdirs.out.  
Make sure
your Qt v4 installation is correct.

But still g++ asks for -arch i386.

Does this mean QT is useless on a PPC Mac 10.5.8, please?
Is there perhaps an alternative to Spyder under Mac, please?

Kind regards,
Gudrun
