python_qt_binding has been fixed for recent pyqt versions, thanks for that, however it has been done in a way that calls 'qmake-qt4' (instead of just 'qmake') which seems to be an invention of some distributions ( seen e.g. on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qt#Installation and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qt#Default_Qt_toolkit ) and that I don't have.
I am not sure how this should be fixed, archlinux wiki mentions a QT_SELECT environment variable, so maybe just calling 'qmake' with this variable set would work.
