The following is the short form of how to install Python and PyQt on
Windows:

Part I: Install Python, if it does not already exist.

A. Go to: http://www.python.org/download/

B. Scroll down the page, looking for items like:

Python 2.7 Windows installer (Windows binary -- does not include
source)

Python 3.1.2 Windows x86 MSI Installer (Windows binary -- does not
include source)

C. Download one or more of these installers.

D. Double-click each downloaded installer.

E. Go to this page of the Python tutorial: 
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/interpreter.html

Test the installation of Python by invoking the Python interpreter as
described.


Part II: Install PyQt, if it does not already exist:

A. Go to http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download

B. Scroll down the page until you see the section called "Binary
packages".  It will contain entries such as the following:

    PyQt-Py3.1-gpl-4.7.4-1.exe          Windows installer
    PyQt-Py2.7-gpl-4.7.4-3.exe  Windows installer
    PyQt-Py2.6-gpl-4.7.4-1.exe  Windows installer
    PyQt-Py2.5-gpl-4.7.4-1.exe  Windows installer
    PyQt-Py2.4-gpl-4.7.4-1.exe  Windows installer

C. Download one installer for every version of Python you have
installed.

D. Double-click each downloaded installer to install PyQt for a
particular version of Python.

E. Test the installation of PyQt by invoking the Python interpreter
and then typing the following at the Python command prompt:

    import PyQt4.QtGui ; print(PyQt4.QtGui)

You should see something like:

    <module 'PyQt4.QtGui' from 'c:\Python31\lib\site-packages
\PyQt4\QtGui.pyd'>

That's all there is to it.  If you have problems, please seek help
from the Python or Riverbank computing people.
