Why on earth would you want to install qt components (for a gui) in a headless server environment?

HI there, @Dutchmo is right, PythonAnywhere is a "headless" environment, ie it doesn't have access to a GUI -- it has no way of displaying any graphics or windows on your screen, apart from the text console. Most of those packages look to be GUI packages. Still, sometimes there are good reasons to want to run those sorts of libraries anyway. What were you planning to do with them?
