I'm trying to use Python's spynner module in a Heroku app, but I'm having trouble getting it working on Heroku. I obviously have it in my requirements.txt and that's fine, even installing lxml with no problem, but I run into a problem with PyQt4. It's not listed in its dependencies, and if I manually put a statement in the requirements.txt like pyqt>=0.0.0, it does try to install it, but I always end up with the following error:
Downloading/unpacking pyqt>=0.0.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 12))

No matter what I do, even trying manual heroku run easy_install xxx with some PyQt4 distribution, it never works. Does anyone have any advice on how to get spynner running?
