def PILimageToQImage(pilimage):
    """converts a PIL image to QImage"""
    imageq = ImageQt(pilimage) #convert PIL image to a PIL.ImageQt object
    qimage = QImage(imageq) #cast PIL.ImageQt object to QImage object -that´s the trick!!!
    return qimage




if __name__ == "__main__":
    #Testcode
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    pim = Image.open(unicode(QFileDialog().getOpenFileName()))
    pim.show() #show pil image

    qim = PILimageToQImage(pim)
    pm = QPixmap(qim)
    lbl = QLabel()
    lbl.setPixmap(pm)
    lbl.show() #show label with qim image

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

I've done the same thing with Qt-3 using QImage.loadFromData(). I imagine it still works in Qt-4:

self.image = QImage()
if self.image.loadFromData(image_data,"PNG"):
    # image loaded successfully
