Yes, you need PyOpenGL (or any other suitable OpenGL wrapper) to use OpenGL with PyQt. Qt itself doesn't provide its own API for OpenGL; you just use the implementation available on your system. It is possible to get OpenGL-rendered 2D graphics without having PyOpenGL installed; you just paint on a QGLWidget in the usual way. However, I suspect that the original poster wanted to render 3D graphics, so Python bindings to the system's OpenGL library are still required.
