Well, then I must have done something wrong since I get the error 
message that there is no module called qt available.

On the command line of Python I did import sys and print sys.path to get 
the built-in search path. I checked the location where make install put 
the pyqt build vs the list of directories in sys.path and found that 
Python *should* be able to find pyqt. (There is a README file in that 
directory saying that this is the place to put third-party files, but I 
don't know if I have to do anything special in that sites.py which is 
mentioned in that README file)

When I do import qt on the Python commandline, which file(s) in the 
third-party directory will be searched for first? If I knew that I could 
check if make install was successful generating all needed files.
