It hasn't been tested. If libsip has a different so name and the *.so Python 
modules in ../python2.4/site-packages/.. don't conflict then I think it might 
be possible.

I haven't used PyQt4 yet, but it looks like all of the modules are kept 
separate in a PyQt4 directory. You might be in luck.

That is also any option. Kubuntu does this actually.
