You may wish to look at PySide, another set of Python bindings for Qt4 which are under the LGPL (meaning that you don't need to buy a license for commercial apps) and mostly API compatible with PyQt4. It is also available in Ports as python-pyside. > I installed the cygwin-ports version of pyqt4, and it works quite well > with the examples from the PyQt book > (http://www.qtrac.eu/pyqtbook.html).

No, because the Cygwin Qt4 is *NIX/X11 based, like all other GUI libraries on Cygwin. > I know the native windows version of pyqt does this Because it uses a Win32/GDI version of Qt4. > As an alternative, is it possible to use the 'native' windows pyqt > packages (ie: from riverbankcomputing.co.uk > <http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk>) from a Cygwin python process? No; Cygwin's *NIX C library and MSVCRT don't mix, and the Python runtimes are also different.
