How's this?  I'm assuming you want a string version of both...

from PyQt4.Qt import PYQT_VERSION_STR
import sys

print("PyQt: {0}\nPython: {1}".format(PYQT_VERSION_STR, sys.version))

You're trying to figure out if pyqt is built for 2.6/2.7/3.1/3.2... it should 
exist in that python versions lib/python${VERSION}/site-packages directory (or 
for windows Python${VERSION}/Lib/site-packages), unless you're making a boo-
boo manually setting  your PYTHONPATH so one package lib affects all 
versions....  I would suggest only setting up PYTHONPATH for libraries and 
apps you're working on, static libs should go in the site-packages directory 
for this specific reason.
