[Pythonmac-SIG] PyQT on Lion?

[Thomas Robitaille]

I use Macports to manage my Python installation on 10.6 and 10.7 and haven't had any issues - and 'port install py27-pyqt4' works great.

See http://astrofrog.github.com/macports-python/ for more details on using Python from Macports.

Macports is also now much faster than it used to be since binary builds are available in many cases.

Cheers,
Tom

I have tried to force python to use 32-bit (defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes), without any change. I think it is an issue with 32/64-bit versions, but I can't figure out which piece is the one using the wrong architecture...

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".
