Ubuntu dropped Qt 3 packages on favor of Qt4. You should install Qt 4 instead:

sudo apt-get install python-qt4

you may try the below solution.

This package is still available in Ubuntu 12.04 which is an LTS release. I would recommend you that you use this Ubuntu version as it is more stable.

Anyways, If you want to use your current Ubuntu you may do this: edit the "/etc/apt/sources.list" file using this command:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and add these two lines at the end of it.

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse

after that run:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-qt3

If this is successful please let me know. I am not sure this is the right way to do this so anyone is welcome to edit my answer.

there is a package which have both Pyqt3 and Pyqt4, Download and install it.

If you had installed pyqt4 already , then you can extend it to support pyqt3 also by using this patch.
