I can confirm that the reason was a build inconsistency (wrong version SIP header being included). As such, some debugging help from SIP could probably have saved me some time (and next time something like this happens). For instance, maybe one could adjust SIP's loglevel so it would output error messages when an incompatible PyQt is loaded (or whatever goes wrong here).<br>

</div>I would think the most likely thing in that case is that the QtGui module<br>
hasn't been imported.</blockquote></div></div><div><br>It has been imported, and like I said this code works for certain builds. It is indicative of inconsistent builds that it doesn't work, and it would be great to have some debugging aids.<br>
