[PyQt] private sip 5 for pyqt?

[William Kyngesburye]

Ah?  Maybe that's where the confusion is.  The old install routine has changed.

What I was looking for:

download sip source
build and install (private for PyQt)
build projects (PyQt, ...)

Now it's:

install sip[build], to get the tools (download and install in one step, with pip)
install the private sip for PyQt with the sipbuild tools
build projects

now, the sip source (or binaries) is not really sip, for a project, but the tools to make a sip for a project, or more simply- I need to install sip to install sip.  This is not clear in the documentation (note that I'm not the developer of a project, I'm just building and installing/packaging it, so stuff that looks purely developer oriented doesn't get my attention).
