Hi All, i'm a happy 6.4 user, but got some problems running pyqt4 on it. i installed all pyqt4 packages. but when i run from PyQt4.QtCore import *, i got the following error message

...

...

from PyQt4.QtCore import *

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v9.0 to v9.1 but the PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v6.0

and if i do yum remove sip, i saw the following message

does this mean , sip is too new , or pyqt4 is too old ? why they are not working together even if they are on the same repo ?

thanks !
