Installing pyQt

Today I installed PyQt on both Windows and Mac. The Windows version is quite easy.
It is just an executable installer. Run it and that is it. The Mac version takes me
a bit of effort. I follow the instructions on this link
(http://kdl.nobugware.com/post/2008/06/05/PyQt-4-on-Mac-Os-X/). You may need to
search for the newest packages since this post is a bit old now. But anyway,
it works. The only hickup is: I am also using fink packages on my Mac and there is
qt3 fink package installed. I need to tweak the path to eliminate the '/sw/bin'
and '/sw/usr/bin' (the fink's binary path) from PATH before I ran the configuration
step. So the configure.py script will not think it find the Qt installation in
the fink package locations. OK. Time to learn some PyQt and wxPython.
