Qt4 Poll

[Frank Schima]

Hi Michael,


I use Qt4 and PyQt4 every day. Ultimately I just care if PyQt4 works. However, the Mac way is to use Frameworks and python26 and above use it. I don't see how py26-pyqt4 will work without a framework build of Qt4, but I don't actually know either way. 


Cheers!
Frank
