Looks like you're playing with a custom-compiled version of Python, as
/usr/local/python2.7 is not a normal Ubuntu path for Python to be
installed as far as I know. Feel free to correct me. I suspect there's
some impedance mismatch between your custom version of Python and the
system-supplied libraries that sip.so may be depending on.
I'm pretty sure Ubuntu 16.04 ships with a pretty current version of
Python 2.7 and also Python 3. It will probably be way easier to work
with the Ubuntu-provided Python versions than to compile you're own,
unless you have a good reason to do so. Try deleting your custom
installation of Python and use the Ubuntu software manager or apt-get to
install PyQt and the sip dependencies.
