I must admit I did not try to run my script even when Qt was not detected, maybe it works... But I guess there is a consequence to the detection of Qt at the build step? Sorry for not providing the exact output of the build step, I m on another computer. On my mac, the section of interest is: OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES libpng: 1.5.2 Tkinter: Tkinter: version not identified, Tk: 8.5, Tcl: 8.5 Gtk+: no * Building for Gtk+ requires pygtk; you must be able * to "import gtk" in your build/install environment Mac OS X native: yes Qt: no Qt4: Qt: 4.7.3, PyQt4: 4.8.5 Cairo: no Here, it detected my pyqt4. But when it s not there, even if pyside is installed, I get a "Qt4: no" instead... Do you mean that it's still going to work, even it was not detected there? > This does not make sense to me.

I must have been confused, I think I only typed "QT_API=pyside" at the prompt, so I guess without the "export" (doh!), that was useless... Since the doc (somewhere) talked about "ETS environment variables", I thought there was something else to it. If not, then I ll have to learn my bash again :-) Not a big issue, anyway! Cheers!
