There are no VTK modules in PyQt itself. The PyQt support is in the vtk package 
which can be built with VTK itself. You will need to install VTK and the vtk 
package correctly in order to achieve this. vtkpython.exe is not going to help 
you. Ignore it. After you have built VTK, you need to do an extra step to 
install the vtk package to where your Python interpreter will be able to find it.

Let's say that your build directory is c:\vtkbuild.

   cd \vtkbuild\Wrapping\Python
   python setup.py install
   cd \

Now you should be able to import vtk from your normal Python interpreter. If you 
are still having problems, you will need to copy-and-paste exactly what you did 
and what error messages you got. Do not paraphrase error messages.
