You have dev-python/sip installed and 
/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/sipconfig.py exists?

[Comment 2 Kevin Lyons 2007-09-18 00:00:08 UTC]

Yes, I have both dev-python/sip installed and sipconfig.py exists.

I'm running non-64bit and am getting the same error, i.e. I get 


-------------------------------------

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "configure.py", line 30, in <module>
    import sipconfig
ImportError: No module named sipconfig
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

-------------------------------

I also have dev-python/sip-4.7 emerged. I re-emerging sip and now PyQt4 emerges without error. 

[Comment 4 Kevin Lyons 2007-09-18 05:01:13 UTC]

re-emerging dev-python/sip and then emerging PyQt4 did the trick for me too.  Thanks for the tip Bill.

Running python-updater after python upgrade is not optional.
