xvfb-run will require you to install some X libs, but you do not need to run X11 or setup a desktop to use it. There is no other way around this; you have to what it says if you want to use Qt services. I use xvfb-run regularly on headless machines, except in your case: xvfb-run -a python your.py
Well, there might be a way to not use xvfb-run if you build your own Qt to use something other than X. In any case, if you are just trying to use a bitmap graphic and or text, in general, and not specifically qimage or qtext then you can locate your libmltqt.so and move it somewhere out of its current location. Then, things should fallback to using gdk-pixbuf and pango.
