[Qgis-developer] Python unit tests and SIP API version

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hey Chris,

Yes I forgot to mention that any standalone pyqgis scripts, like the unit
tests, will need to have the sip version set before PyQt4 is imported.  On
Python < 3 PyQt4 will automatically set its SIP version to 1.  In Python >
3 this will change but for now you will have to set it your self.

What I did think of doing was setting the SIP version in qgis.core so that
if you import them first then everything is set for you.  What are your
thoughts on doing this?
