<p>Hah, yes I'm well aware of what deprecated means. Wasn't aware
this was deprecated however (as stated before, I'm only indirectly
using sipconfig, via ROS' python_qt_binding). I guess I shouldn't
be surprised that ROS uses deprecated functionality :p</p>
<p>Also Eli, thank you for the references on how this change
happened. I guess the conclusion is: "don't use sipconfig". For
now I patched python_qt_binding, to substitute this variable with
its value. Not an ideal solution, but replacing sipconfig with
something else is not something I look forward to.</p>
<p>Thank you Phil and Eli for the (very) quick responses.</p>
<p>In case anyone reads this for the python_qt_binding patch:

No. Deprecated means "deprecated and will not be fixed". :)

"Note: This should not be used for new projects as it will not be
