PyQt version vs Qt version

[cappuccino]

I've noticed that gentoo defaults to install qt version 3.0.4, but if I try to install PyQt, I only found version 3.1 for qt 3.0.2, which doesn't compile correctly when emerged. It would be nice to have PyQt aligned with the installed version of the Qt library.

Yes it does appear that sip and PyQt are very tightly coupled by version number. I have submitted bug trackers for new ebuilds for sip-3.2.4 and PyQt-3.2.4 (bugs.gentoo.org #3398 and #3399).

I've never submitted ebuilds before so hopefully I did things properly. I just modified the existing ones and tested them out. They seemed to work on my system and satisfied the dependencies for [anygui] which is what I've been wanting to work with all along anyway.
