You might want to compile it yourself now, _and_ make notes for every 
decision, it takes (which arch, which MacOS, cocoa or carbon, universal 
binaries or not and permutate that with different Python, Qt and PyQt build 
variants).

Now, if Phil would want to produce binary support for MacOS, he would had to 
make many choices, only to harvest whining users, because the concrete 
variant, they _instantly_ need, is missing. Be assured, that those users 
will have all valid reasons on why they need that special combination, that 
is missing.. 

The PySide guys might make these decisions for you one day for one or two 
MacOS releases ("wasting tears"), before they quit that...

Binary Mac support is a task with "Don Quijote"oresce dimensions.

See, Christophe, even _you_ don't want Phil to do that, if you're really 
interested in advances of sip, PyQt and dip themselves.
