Pyqt in maya 2009 on linux

Hi,
I’m trying to install pyqt4 on maya 2009 in linux. I can get it to load the modules but i get the following errors when run the test script mentioned in the linux install pdf in the devkit folder:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui as qt
app = qt.QApplication(sys.argv)
hello = qt.QLabel(“Hello world!”, None)
hello.show()
app.processEvents()

Error: NULL result without error in PyObject_Call

Traceback (most recent call last):

File “<maya console>”, line 3, in <module>

SystemError: NULL result without error in PyObject_Call
