Thanks David. What I managed to do as an interim solution is simply to
remove MacPython and reinstall SIP and PyQt using the default version
of Python that comes with Apple, and then everything works. Next I
will retry how to use a more uptodate version, maybe I compiled SIP
etc. with the wrong version. If I have more questions I will use the
PyQt mailing list, thanks for the tip!
