qt4: support PyQt4 v4.12.2 where sip became a sub module
 
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt4/incompatibilities.html#pyqt-v4-12-2 :

In previous versions PyQt4 used the copy of the sip module usually installed in
the site-packages directory and applications accessed it using as follows:

  import sip

This version includes a private copy of the module. Applications should access
it as follows:

  from PyQt4 import sip

Description
===========

Its purpose is to easily navigate in a Mercurial repository
history. It has been written with efficiency in mind, both in terms
of computational efficiency and user experience efficiency.

It is written in Python.

There are two user interfaces:
    * a graphical interface using PyQt4 and QScintilla, the
    * a text interface: using urwid, pygments and pyinotify

Note that the Qt4 interface is much more complete than the text interface.
The Qt4 interface provides more views on the repository.

hgview intallation notes
========================

hgview can be used either as a hg extension, or as a standalone
application.

The Common library depends on: mercurial (1.0 minimum)
The Qt4 interface depends on PyQt4, QScintilla and PyQScintilla, DocUtils
The Text interfaces depend on urwid (>=0.9.1 for "raw", >=1.0.0 for "curses"),
pygments and pyinotify


Run from the hg repository
--------------------------

You can run ``hgview`` without installing it.

::

  hg clone https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/hgview

You may want to add the following to your main .hgrc file::

  [extensions]
  hgext.hgview=path/to/hqgv/hgext/hgview.py

  [hgview]
  # your hgview configs statements like:
  dotradius=6
  interface=qt # or curses or raw
  # type hg qv-config to list available options

Then from any Mercurial repository::

  cd <ANY_HG_REPO>
  hg qv

or::

  export PYTHONPATH=PATH_TO_HGVIEW_DIR:$PYTHONPATH
  PATH_TO_HGVIEW_DIR/bin/hgview

Installing ``hgview``
---------------------

Installing ``hgview`` is simply done using usual ``distutils`` script::

  cd $PATH_TO_HGVIEW_DIR
  python setup.py install --help # for available options
  python setup.py install


More informations
=================

See `hg help hgview` for more informations on available configuration
options.
