Thanks Anil, it worked just fine! Just complementing for those who face the
same problem in the future, I had to copy the C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\
PyQt4\plugins\sqldrivers dir to my frozen app target-dir. The only file
needed in my case was qsqlite4.dll (which refers to QSqlite), but it has to
be in a folder named ''sqldrivers'' into the target-dir for the app to work.

Cheers,

Claudio
