For anybody who does decide to pick up the challenge of improving the
installer:

It is perfectly reasonable for a new user to get the message "Sorry,
python not found, go get it from ..." and to stop installation. Ditto
for PyQt.

The confusion with the current process is that Leo installs anyway so
the user is not really sure what to do to rectify the situation. They
don't know if they've done something wrong or if the program is
broken.

Some code to sniff out the installed python version from the windows
registry can be found here

  It is imperfect, failing on 64bit windows, but perhaps a real
programmer and not a hack like me can suss out a solution. :)

my 2c,
