I've got what should be a working OSX build here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?t5nnriwbcxm. Sorry about the ads. I'm hoping that you 
can
host the build on the project site.

Email me if you have any questions and/or problems.

TehKuja & djh816: sorry, I didn't check this list until now, but thank you both 
for
offering.

And of course a big thank to halter73 -- I upped the archive now. Hope it works 
as I
can't test it. Gonna leave this issue open cause if there are any problems then 
the
first place users are gonna go is probably right here and it's easier to just 
leave a
comment than to do something scary like open a brand new issue.

Looks like the included libraries/whatever are compiled for Intel only. Running 
on PPC, I get this lovely junk:

   File "/path/to/Amphetype.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 137, in <module> 
     _run('Amphetype.py') 
   File "/path/to/Amphetype.app/Contents/Resources/__boot__.py", line 134, in _run 
     execfile(path, globals(), globals()) 
   File "/path/to/Amphetype.app/Contents/Resources/Amphetype.py", line 9, in <module> 
     from Quizzer import Quizzer 
   File "Quizzer.pyc", line 13, in <module> 
   File "Config.pyc", line 5, in <module> 
   File "QtUtil.pyc", line 4, in <module> 
   File "PyQt4/QtCore.pyc", line 18, in <module> 
   File "PyQt4/QtCore.pyc", line 11, in __load 
 ImportError: dlopen(/path/to/Amphetype.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-
dynload/PyQt4/QtCore.so, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find: 
  /path/to/Amphetype.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/PyQt4/QtCore.so: mach-o, but 
wrong architecture 

Notice the "mach-o, but wrong architecture" — that leads me to think it's 
Intel-compiled. Also, it works 
beautifully on my Intel Mac. (Thanks for putting it together!)

Thanks for the update.

I was worried this would happen, but I wasn't sure due to the lack of any PPC 
comps
to test on (Of course Murphy's Law came into play). I'll see if I can get a 
hold of a
PPC comp soon for testing.

From your stack trace, I'm going to say that I only included x86 Qt Libraries.
Unfortunately that could just be the first of many things that will fail. I 
don't
know how much luck I'll have trying to create a universal binary, but I'll give 
it a
shot.

I guess for now Intel Mac builds are better than nothing. I can tell you from
experience that getting PyQt working on Macs is more painful than it should be. 
But I
would assume this is because it's a developer-centric tool and it is intended 
to be
included in builds such as these.

Hmm. I thank you for your effort halter. But it strikes me that I can't ask you 
to
put in this much effort when I roll out updates and it's thus not a very viable
choice in the future. Indeed, it strikes me that I can't ask anyone for that 
effort. :(

But if you or anyone is indeed willing, I can add you to the project so you can
upload your own mac-targeted apps...
