Its not a technical, but a legal limitation. That is you're not allowed to make money off any code you've developed with the open-source version of Qt (or PyQt for that matter). > Anyway, some questions: > > - where do I get the Qt Designer from? >From Qt: www.trolltech.com > - how come PyQt4 isn't on PyPI?

Because so far there's little interest in that I think, plus PyQt4 doesn't use distutils/setuptools and hence one would need to change the buildsystem first probably.
