Some things to check:

1. Is PyQt installed in python/site-packages? If not, Python needs to be told 
where to find it (sys.path or PYTHON_PATH)

2. If installed in python/site-packages, is there more than one version of 
Python installed on the system? Is the version of Python running the program 
the same one used to build and install PyQt? (That's really the same problem 
as (1), but with a different cause)

3. If Python has a path to PyQt, are permissions correct?

4. Is PyQt really there? (For example, did the user forget to run "make 
install"?)

5.  Make PyQt/examples3 the current directory and try to run PyQt example 
programs.

Note that this isn't a PyQt error because Python can't even find PyQt.
