How do I install SIP? I can't seem to do this. I've downloaded the package and read the README file, but I don't see a way of installing it on windows. I ran the configure.py file but then it generates makefiles to run which can't be run on windows. I also attempted to download QT but it doesn't appear to be free (it's an evaluation and I don't feel like submitting my personal information to download it). Am I missing something?
