How much of a barrier is there to PyQt for Windows users?
If I understand it correctly... PyQt is free, but Qt is not, so all
you need is the Qt libs to compile your own PyQt -- can these be from
any app you have that uses Qt, or do you need stuff you can only get
from a Qt source distribution (included in BlackAdder, ya?)?

I guess I'm really wondering if PyQt will have any life outside of the
commercial arena, and figuring it may if any Windows user with a Qt
based app on their box can get PyQt to work (or is that really naive).
