[Pythonmac-SIG] PyQT on Lion? (Charlie Clark)

[Michael McCracken]

Arana, please feel free to ask here about any questions building
distributable apps with PyQt - I'm currently working on this and I
might be able to share some workarounds I've had to use.

Also, I'd suggest you use the current development version of py2app,
which has some related changes.

For example, see an earlier thread about needing to create a qt.conf
file in the app bundle to avoid plugin warnings and potential crashes:

I think this one shows the most promise for getting an environment that will not only run my PyQT apps but allow me to build a distribution version with py2app (which I have NEVER managed to be able to do!!)

I have managed to get this all built on my MacBookPro which is running Snow Leopard, but not on my desktop machine (iMac). HomeBrew lists PyQT as installed, but when I try to run some code it fails with a "can't find module".
