Hi list

First time poster and python/pyqt noob so please be gentle...

Platform: WinXP

I have Python 3.1 installed at "C:\Program Files\Python31"

I have downloaded and installed PyQt-Py3.0-gpl-4.5.1-1.exe (I
encountered a warning during the install saying it couldn't locate
Python 3.0 but I opted to continue).

I have also downloaded and installed the MSVC2008 C++ runtime DLLs

Unfortunately, I cannot get any of the qtdemo's (located in "C:\Program
Files\Python31\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\examples\demos\qtdemo") to run.

Trying to execute any of the *.py scripts located in the demos folder 
results in an error like the following:

##############################
C:\Program
Files\Python31\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\examples\demos\qtdemo>colors.p
y
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\Program
Files\Python31\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\examples\demos\qtdemo\
colors.py", line 3, in <module>
     from PyQt4 import QtGui
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
###############################

I have checked my system PATH and both "C:\Program
Files\Python31\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4" and "C:\Program Files\Python31"
are included. Typing "python" in a command window brings up the python
interpreter as one would expect.

I have checked the FAQs and searched the mailing list but apart from
advice to do with setting the PATH variable I can't find any
hints/solutions. Also, I'm not entirely sure if PyQt supports Python 3.1
yet (it's not very clear as to whether it supports Python 3 and later or
only Python 3.0).

Apologies if I'm being stupid!

Thanks,
gpuk
