Err... no. PyQt is a language binding, it is "just" a bridge between Python and Qt, is it not a runnable thing per se. As such, it has no special GUI or editor or sorts, if you want to use a more GUI-based approach, use the QtCreator/QtDesigner that comes with "regular" Qt. The resulting .ui files you generate in those can be used in both C++ and Python applications.

Please note, I do not want to create a python gui on my pc, I want to use my n900 for both the coding and the aesthetic.
While this is possible, it is very difficult and tiresome to do (=not recommended), especially as with Python you do not need scratchbox, crosscompilers and such on your desktop, just a regular desktop Qt install.
