Isn't this error message self-explanatory?  You obviously need to
install PyQt for Python 2.6.  Python 2.7 doesn't magically use modules
installed for Python 2.6.  This wouldn't work anyway, because CPython
has the habit of breaking ABI between minor versions, modules compiled
for older Python versions likely do not work on more recent versions.
