[PyKDE] Installation problems with PyQT on Windows (DLL Load Failed)

[Feroze Mohamed Arif]

Hello Phil,

I installed Python and PyQt on the C drive where QT is already installed and
tried running the example script.  However the problem still remains.

Here is the traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"C:\PYTHON22\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py",
line 301, in RunScript
    exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__
  File "C:\Python22\PyQt\Examples\aclock.py", line 4, in ?
    from qt import *
  File "C:\PYTHON22\lib\site-packages\qt.py", line 28, in ?
    import libsip
ImportError: DLL load failed: One of the library files needed to run this
application cannot be found.

I look forward to your advice on how the above can be resolved.

Best Regards
Feroze

On which drive is Qt installed?

On which drive are you running the example from?
