[PyQt] Cannot 'configure' PyQt4.9 before build on Linuxmint

[Nico Dufort]

I just wanted to bring some closure to my old thread in case someone
browses the archive:

Following Brian's suggestion of editing PyQt-*-4.9.1/sip/QtNetwork/qssl.sip
as explained in the following thread solved the configuration problem I had
since December.  I had given up then since nothing seemed to help and I had
found a build online that had worked for my needs.

Info can be found under the following thread, and it is my understanding
that at this time a new snapshot is fixing the issue: [PyQt] sip: __or__()
unsupported function return type - provide %MethodCode and a C++ signature
( QT 4.8.1 + PyQt 4.9.1 ).


Cheers. nico
