The original question from asked how to run "Symbian code using PyQWt4". As noted, Symbian is a mobile OS (Symbian OS). The term "PyQWt4" is ambiguous: it is likely a typo for either PyQt4 (Python bindings for Qt4) (PyQt) or for PyQwt (a plotting extension that sits on top of PyQt) (PyQwt). That distinction matters because the practical routes are different.

Historically the simplest, supported way to run Python on Symbian devices was Python for S60 (PyS60) — not PyQt/PyQwt — so most Python-on-Symbian examples use PyS60 UI modules like appuifw (Python for S60, https://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60/). A minimal PyS60 script looks like:

import appuifw
appuifw.app.body = appuifw.Text()
appuifw.app.body.set("Hello, Symbian")

To run: install the matching PyS60 runtime on the phone, copy the .py file to device memory or card, and open it with the Python runtime app.

If the real goal was to use PyQt4/PyQwt on Symbian, note that both are primarily desktop libraries; getting them on a phone requires cross-compiling Qt/Qwt for Symbian and building SIP/PyQt/PyQwt for that target — an advanced porting task. For most projects targeting Symbian in that era, using PyS60 or writing a native Qt (C++) app for Symbian was the pragmatic choice.
