Update: I tried the same procedure (install Python, install PyQt4) on a fresh
Windows XP machine that doesn't have Cygwin+Python and any complications that
may cause, and things work as expected.
I did add Lib/site-packages to a system PYTHONPATH environment variable just to
be on the safe side, but otherwise didn't have to do anything weird. I guess I
was just "lucky" in choosing for my first test machine one that had the Cygwin
strangeness (a.k.a. Pernicious Python Path Problems!). I tried this machine
again, too, after uninstalling the Python package in Cygwin, and now things work
there, too -- so it was indeed the path confusion caused by Cygwin's Python.
Strange, I wouldn't have expected that.
So to summarize, the correct procedure is:
1. Install Python 2.6
2. Install PyQt4 for Python 2.6
3. [optional?] Create PYTHONPATH environment variable and add
$PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR/Lib/site-packages to it.
Thanks to all who responded!
