Python support in QGIS is optional, that's why it compiles and works also without it. The most interesting part of the python support for ordinary users is ability to use plugins written in Python. There are already some plugins available (see http://spatialserver.net:3001/ ) and more can be expected to come. Power users could use Python support in QGIS to do some scripts for handling their geographic data or even build graphical applications based on QGIS libraries. > 2- Any ideas how to overcome that error with PyQt4 No idea here, you could get some advice on PyQt mailing list...

[Qgis-user] Problem compiling PyQt4
I am trying to compile qgis 0.9.1 on my Fedora Core 6 system. (qgis 0.8.1 is already installed and working). Fedora 6 runs on Qt-3.3, but I've added Qt4 and Qt4-devel thru yum. I've downloaded and compiled SIP, but when I get to compiling PyQt4 here's the error: python configure.py -w -q /usr/lib/qt4/bin/qmake Determining the layout of your Qt installation... /usr/lib/qt4/bin/qmake -o qtdirs.mk qtdirs.pro No generator specified in config file: /home/micha/download/gis/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.3.3/qtdirs.pro Unable to generate makefile for: qtdirs.pro I decided to try running cmake anyway in the qgis source as follows: cmake -D GRASS_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/grass-6.2.2/ . and of course I got... -- PyQt4 not found! -- Python bindings disabled due dependency problems! -- Found Qt-Version 4.3.2 But all other pre-requisites were found. Next I did the make and make install for qgis, and the build completed successfully. The newly compiled qgis seems to be running fine. Plugins open as expected, etc. (except for the Print Composer ??) So my questions are: 1- What do I lose by not having Python bindings? 2- Any ideas how to overcome that error with PyQt4 TIA, Micha ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.qgis.org http://lists.qgis.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
