[SOLVED] pyqt upgrade problem

Hi,
I'm on a fully updated (as of 30 hours ago) Arch 64b/KDE.
Ever since I can't proceed with full upgrade (pacman -Syu) due to pyqt replacement as appearing below:

Please advise!

=== copy of terminal============

:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace pyqt with extra/python2-qt? [Y/n] y
:: Replace sip with extra/python2-sip? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: q7z: requires pyqt>=4.5
==========

Re: [SOLVED] pyqt upgrade problem

I've just compiled Q7Z from the AUR without problem. I think it's because q7z is now written in python 3 which can co-exist with python2-*

$ pacman -Qs python
