Many thanks for the note on adding a blank qt.conf, you saved me many hours of googling!

After hours of stumbling around with the same issue, I’d like to share the solution that worked for me on windows vista:
using python2.6

copy the following directory into your dist directory generated by py2exe:
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\plugins\imageformats

I just dropped the imageformats directory directly into my dist directory, without any further modifications to qt.conf or anything like that. I haven’t tried it, but this may work for phonon as well.

enjoy!

Ciao,
Lets suppose you have your application MyApp.app
In MyApp.app/Contents/plugins/imageformats/
put the libraries:
libqjpeg.dylib
libqgif.dylib

In MyApp.app/Contents/resources/
put qt.conf that contains:
[Paths]
Prefix = .
Binaries = .

Ok, on my machine (Leopard) all works.

Sorry for the bad English.

THANK YOU! I hope I was half as helpful as other people were to me. Also -- note that running macdeployqt on your app will do some nice repairs on it, including adding the qt.conf file (so you don't have to do it manually every time). macdeployqt comes with Qt 4.5, and there is more information on it here.

daby – But that is because it has to stay consistent with the “Qt is Qt, any platform” feature!

my wish is for pyqt to be more pythonic. i mean in wxpython the c++ syntax is ‘almost’ invisible, in pyqt its everywhere.
