I  tried to install activestate on win 10 but due to my ignorance or
lack of knowlege i could n't get to install pyqt or sip. i tried it
through pip.

Even on basic installation i am getting it hard to find installation of
sip.  How the hell do i get it installed, because i want to work on pyqt
and it doesn't install without sip.

But Winpython portable version works like a charm on windows.
