[Pythonmac-SIG] PyQT on Lion?

[Arana Fireheart]

Charlie,

	Really!? How can you tell that from what I sent? The issue I have with homebrew (which btw, is the package manager I would prefer to use…), is that I can't get pyserial to install under homebrew. I know there is a way to build an installer using homebrew, but pyserial isn't available under git , and I went looking for another 'path' to the goal, since I really didn't want to build everything from scratch!

	As far as I can tell there isn't any one place that describes who puts what where for OS X. Is anyone aware of one? I'm *really* thinking about starting one!

	Also, what do you mean that installing PyQt with homebrew "will limit the effectiveness of any virtualenv"? I couldn't seem to get my virtual environment to find PyQt. I even tried copying it to the virtual environment, as someone on Stack Overflow had suggested. I just feel like I can manage to get to 98%, but never get any one install to work entirely. I feel so close to a solution, but it is always just out of reach...

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...
