A new verison of the PyQt-Mac binary installer is available. This version, PyQt-Mac-11-2004-fix, includes a rebuilt version of Qt 3.3.3 with threading support, and adds symlinks to Qt libraries in /usr/lib/ (required by Qt) and /usr/local/lib (required by PyQt). This should address problems with installation that some users were previously reported. This package also includes the Eric 3 IDE, written in PyQt and packaged in a Mac application bundle.

Not sure if this is your fault or theirs, but the #! for Eric 3 should
not be:

#!/Applications/MacPython-2.3/PythonIDE.app/Contents/MacOS/Python

It should be:

#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/ Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python

This works even if the MacPython additions were never installer or have
been moved/removed.

Perhaps you should also consider putting it somewhere other than
/Applications. /Developer/qt/somewhere or /Developer/Applications/Qt
Tools/ would probably be more appropriate.
