Wonderful!  I've got some 7.1 systems I'm maintaining and they're a nightmare

Your only other option is to find a RPM of QScintilla compiled against your 
Qt library version, a RPM of sip compiled against a Qt with QScintilla 
included, and a RPM of PyQt compiled against that sip...  Probably doesn't 
exist, but you're welcome to go searching.

If you really want to stay away from source, you'd probably be better off 
just sticking with the base install that distributors such as RedHat 
provide...
