We will cover the prerequisites for the installation of QT Python in this section.
This package provides Python bindings for QT libraries. We will use PyQt4 to generate GUI for the image processing application to be developed later in this chapter. The GPL version is available at:

Note that you should install PyQt4 binary for Python version 2.6. The PyQt4 for Python version 2.5 or earlier may not support the Phonon module. Check the PyQt4 documentation to know more. The installation instructions for PyQt4 were already discussed in Chapter 2, Working with Images. Refer to that chapter for further details. The following table summarizes the installation prerequisites.
