[PyQt] OS X: SIP prevents sip 4.17 from installing...

[William Kyngesburye]

I use this to keep sip/pyqt out of /System:

for sip:

python2.7 configure.py -n -d /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages \
-b /usr/local/bin -e /usr/local/include -v /usr/local/share/sip

for pyqt:

python2.7 configure.py -d /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages -b /usr/local/bin
