When I compile pyQt on Windows 7 it returns an error saying:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "configure.py", line 32, in <module>
import sipconfig
ImportError: No module named sipconfig
I have configured sip but the error still occurs. Can anyone help?

The same happened to me on OSX.
As @Janne Karila suggested, you need to download and build SIP first. In the extracted sip source folder issue these commands in a terminal:
python configure.py
make
sudo make install
After that (in case it succeeds) you should be able to build PyQt in his folder using the same 3 commands.
When building sip, try using sudo so you can write the files to the /System directory:
sudo python configure.py
sudo make
sudo make install
I had same issue, then looked at the install directories and noticed files where not there, so I used sudo and successfully built it. Got PyQt built as well.
After downloading the sip from here download. Extract the sip folder in the PyQt4 folder
cd sip-version
python configure.py
make
make install
From the same location and it will compile and save to C:\Python folder
