Yes, the software is licensed under gpl.  how do I determine what
run-time elements I need to install on the clien'ts machine and what
is supposed to  be skipped?

that's exactly what I am planning, only need to figure out what all do
I need to package apart from the application executable.  by the way I
will be using cx_freze for creating executables.  so I hope I will not
require to also ship the PYQT modules?

but my problem is that I will only be able to use python 2.4, is that
ok?  the PYQT installer asks "you seam to have a version older than
python25, would you still like to continue?"  is it safe to do so?  I
did not find a gpl binary for PYQT that is made for python24.  please
give the URL if possible.

which is the best editor which I can consider simple, does auto
indentation and has some kind of auto completion features?  it is ok
if I don't get a gui designer.

this is all confusing for me right now.  can you please give me any
links possible for having a binary qt installer that will also install
dlls required by PYQT?
and how will I be able to determine what dll files and what other
components I will need to ship with my installer?
thanks.
