I've created a binary Windows installer for what will be PyQt v4.3 at 
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Downloads/PyQt4/GPL/PyQt-gpl-4.3a1-Py2.5.exe

The purpose of the package is to satisfy the needs of 95% of users - not 100%.

At the moment this includes the following...

  - the standard PyQt4 modules (except QtDesigner)
  - QScintilla2
  - pyuic4, pyrcc4, pylupdate4
  - designer, assistant, linguist
  - Qt and PyQt docs
  - PyQt examples
  - support for SQLite (but no other database drivers)
  - support for PNG, SVG, GIF, JPEG (but no other image formats)

In other words you don't need the Qt installer from Trolltech or MinGW.

I plan to add eric4 and (probably) the SSL classes before the final release. I 
may remove the Qt documentation and just provide a link to Trolltech's 
website.

The package isn't extensible. If you want to add additional Qt based modules 
(or additional database drivers or image formats) then you should build 
things yourself.

I'd like feedback on anything else you think is missing and should be in the 
final release (like I've just realised I forgot lrelease).
