You need to talk to theKompany about BlackAdder. The relationship is 
simply that they license PyQt to be included in BlackAdder. I believe 
Qt3 support is in the works, but this won't includes MacOS support.

Adding MacOS support to PyQt requires significant changes to SIP - it's 
more than a porting exercise. We can talk off-list if you are interested 
in helping with the development costs.
