The python modules are easy. Most are only an easy_install xxxx away.
Except lxml which requires pycrypto, and there you have to modify
_fastmath.h to find the gmp.h and then it'll go.

PyQT requires sip (from the same website as pyqt) but that also was
easy. Got pyqt working.

Not too bad, until I realized that Python 2.7.x is _really_ needed. I
thought it was just one or two tweaks, but he's using heavily
dictionary comprehension and other stuff. I'm not even going to try
until 2.7 is part of the OS.



BTW in the process I noticed that MagickWand.pc is named Wand.pc on
OI... ln -s Wand.pc MagickWand.pc takes care of that, in case anybody
else comes upon that particular problem
