I have a new machine (windows 10) and am running Python 2.7.13 (64 bit). I have managed to install a couple of modules, but now am having an issue with sip, which I need before I can install PyQt4.
I downloaded the zip file, extracted the folder to C:\Python27\Lib\sip-4.19.3. I then opened a cmd and cd into C:\Python27\Lib\sip-4.19.3 and ran:
python configure.py
I got this in the cmd window:
C:\Python27\Lib\sip-4.19.3>python configure.py
This is SIP 4.19.3 for Python 2.7.13 on win32.
The SIP code generator will be installed in C:\Python27.
The sip module will be installed in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages.
The sip.pyi stub file will be installed in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages.
The sip.h header file will be installed in C:\Python27\include.
The default directory to install .sip files in is C:\Python27\sip.

C:\Python27\Lib\sip-4.19.3>
But when I open IDLE and try and import sip I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
import sip
ImportError: No module named sip
I did a print out of my modules:
['pillow==4.0.0', 'pip==9.0.1', 'setuptools==28.8.0', 'wheel==0.30.0']
So I know its not there but I am unsure what I should do after running the configure.py.
I looked online and saw that it may be that I need to build sip after the configure.py has been run so tried I tried typing make after the initial configuration but got this:
C:\Python27\Lib\sip-4.19.3>make
'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Python27\Lib\sip-4.19.3>
The installation documentation is a little ambiguous and makes some assumptions so I would like to know what I should do after the configure.py as I am a bit stumped.
Thanks
