[PyQt] PyQt installation on mac os x 10.6 fails

[Jan Haag]

If you want to use the latest Qt (4.6), download and install the Cocoa  
64bit binaries.
There are 32bit carbon builds for backward compatibility, this message  
suggests you
have one of these. Except for a few minor bugs these two versions work  
the same, but
Carbon is restricted to 32bit (and deprecated anyway).
With these in place, you just have to follow the instructions for  
building PyQt 64bit and
it should work (not with python 3, it doesn't yet work on 64 bit at  
all).
The default python shipped with mac is fine, it is a clean 64bit build  
of the standard
python.org version with some extensions preinstalled.

This is all I can tell you, I hope it helps... It worked for me, at  
least.
