Phil, what do you suggest? > PyQwt offers a distutils (in its pyqt_distutils directory). I have borrowed quite a lot of ideas from the SciPy distutils: for instance the implementation of additional commands run_sip and run_moc It parses the Qt spec file for the compiler flags like configure.py (pyqt_distutils was born at the time that PyQt still used the GNU autotools). I think pyqt_distutils is better (offers more features) for common systems such as Windows and Linux. For rare systems (AIX needs shell commands for linking) configure.py is preferrable. pyqt_distutils can certainly be improved by stealing command invokations from sipconfig.
