I have used python until this advice. After reading your advice I tried 
pythonw, but on its commandline I got the same error message that qt is 
not a module. Somewhere down the compile and install pipe a file that 
python need to know that qt is available must have slipped through.

Yes, I have installed the MacPython add-ons. So far I haven't 
experimented with it, but I will now.

But I have already installed Mac/qt by myself, and it is working. I 
don't know what will happen if I start to install something on top of 
it. Do you have a possibility to create a version that do not include 
Mac/qt, or will this make no sense?

I hope to get some more time to play with python and qt this evening, 
and then I will check some of your advices.

Thanks,
