I ran some of the qt4 examples distributed with the release and observed no problems. I think this should be sufficient to counter assertions in this bug report that pyqwt-5.1.0 is incompatible with python-2.6. There is a problem with ubuntu's packaging of python-qwt5-qt4, not with pyqwt-5.1.0 itself.
I just downloaded the PyQwt-5.1.0 release, not a snapshot, and installed it for python-2.6 using:
$ python configure.py -Q ../qwt-5.1 -4 -L /usr/lib -I /usr/include/ --module- install- path=/usr/ lib/python2. 6/dist- packages/ PyQt4/Qwt5
$ make
$ sudo make install
