Sorry for the deluge of list traffic - yes it turned out to be a
syntax error. Thanks for all the advice.

Clearing out those sip/pyqt files in there as I mentioned, yes.  In fact, a clean system python doesn't have a "site-packages" folder (that's what /Library/Python is for) so you can delete that folder.

>>> Just to make sure - rebuild *both* sip and pyqt, with clean source would help.  And Qt Cocoa is a must (not the Carbon version) for 64bit.  If your using Carbon, don't add --arch=x86_64 for SIP, and use the --use-arch=i386 option for PyQt.
