PyBitmessage requires PyQt unless you want to run it as a daemon and interact with it using the API. You can download PyQt from http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download or by searching Google for ‘PyQt Download’. If you want to run in daemon mode, see https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Daemon

Error message: No module named PyQt4
