These are librarys that will be needed for installing pyqt.
2. Download and Install Qt
http://qt-project.org/downloads
Will install to /opt/Qt
If you are installing somewhere else note the location
Select tools and the latest version
3.Download and Install PyQt
http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/ ... ation.html
In the untared folder, Run "python configure.py -q /opt/Qt/5.3/gcc_64/bin/qmake"
If you did not install to /Opt/Qt, replace with your path
Run "make" in the downloaded folder. Will take a little bit of time to build everything. Took me about 10 minutes!
Run "make install" This is much quicker.
4. Finally Test it! I attached a python script. If done correctly, when you run it (python <path to file>), it should build and bring up a window with a button in it! AMAZING!
Forum will not let me attach a python file so copy this code into an empty doc and add a py extension to it. Note that indentation is required and important!

main(sys.argv)
NEW STEP
5. Add the following lines to where the env var PYTHONPATH is set. This will let applications find the module by default.
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/PyQt4:$PYTHONPATH
