When I compile pyQt on Windows 7 it returns an error saying:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "configure.py", line 32, in <module>
       import sipconfig
ImportError: No module named sipconfig

I have configured sip but the error still occurs. Can anyone help?

The same happened to me on OSX.

As @Janne Karila suggested, you need to download and build SIP first. In the extracted sip source folder issue these commands in a terminal:

python configure.py
make
sudo make install

After that (in case it succeeds) you should be able to build PyQt in his folder using the same 3 commands.
