I've been trying to get some GUI apps based on PyQt to run.

Somewhere in the PPython scripts is the following import:

from PyQt4.QtCore import *

This is the error that I keep getting consistently.

RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 to v8.1 but the PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v7.1

Why is this happening? How do I get sip to use the right API?

Thanks

It sounds like your sip and PyQt4 packages are not compatible. What OS are you using? Did you install from source or binary packages? – Gary Hughes Jun 22 '12 at 07:43
Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and installed the source packages. – Jaidev Deshpande Jun 23 '12 at 10:34
Which versions are you using? I'd suggest grabbing the latest SIP and PyQt versions from riverbankcomputing.com and giving it another go. – Gary Hughes Jun 25 '12 at 07:37
