If the course is being taught in Visual Basic then that would probably
be the best thing to use.  I'm surprised that the teacher is allowing
you to complete the assignment in Python if he/she doesn't know the
language.

I'm not all that familiar with PyQt specifically, but I can tell you
that GUI programs are typically event-based rather than simply
procedural like your RPS game.  That means that the "while 1" loop
that you have will be replaced with the Qt event loop.  You will also
need to write event handlers for each of the four element labels, so
that when a user clicks on one of them, the game will go through the
logic of receiving the player's choice (based on which one was
clicked), determining the result of the match, and finally updating
the output label accordingly.
