I tried following the steps to build a python plugin for QGIS. (step 3 is where I am stuck at)
1) I used the Plugin Builder plugin to build the initial set of files. I call my plugin "PointWithinRadius". After using the plugin builder I have the files: init.py, pointwithinradius.py, resources.qrc, etc..(the usual files)
2) Next I ran pyrcc4.exe and was able to get resource.py from resource.qrc
3) Tried running pyuic4.bat as follows: (but get the errors as seen below)
![C:\Program Files\Quantum GIS Copiapo\bin>pyuic4.bat -d -o "C:\Users\stalmaki\.qg
is\python\plugins\PointRadius\ui_pointradius.py" -x "C:\Users\stalmaki\.qgis\pyt
hon\plugins\PointRadius\ui_pointradius.ui"
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: Values instance has no attribute 'from_imports'][1]
I am unable to figure out the reason for this and searching for this error didn't give me much success either.
Finally when I try opening my plugin in QGIS, I get the following (see attached screenshot jpeg)
I want to build a sort of hello world plugin at first but these errors are not allowing me to get out of the starting blocks. Any help on solving would be great.
My development environment:
Windows 7 32 bit
QGIS 1.6.0
Python 2.5
Qt 4.7

Using OSGeo4W should take care of the PATH issues on Windows systems and keep all packages compatible.
