[QGIS-Developer] Cannot build qgis with sip 2.19

[David Marteau]

Hi all, 

There is no way to build qgis 2.18 (latest on branch) on osx with qt4 and sip 2.19:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../../../../../scripts/pyuic-wrapper.py", line 26, in <module>
    import qgis.PyQt.uic.pyuic
  File "/Users/david/Projets/qgis/QGIS/build/output/python/qgis/__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
    from qgis.core import QgsFeature, QgsGeometry
  File "/Users/david/Projets/qgis/QGIS/build/output/python/qgis/core/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
    from qgis._core import *
RuntimeError: qgis._core cannot import type 'QList<QVariant>' from PyQt4.QtCore

This seems to be related to 

https://issues.qgis.org/issues/16343
https://issues.qgis.org/issues/16071

I suspect that there is no proper sip definition for QList<QVariant>. compatible with sip 2.19

Any clue ?
