According to the Changelog QMenuData.findItem() was added 15 months ago, so 
this particular one shouldn't be a problem.

However it is possible (because pyuic tracks the latest uic) that something 
gets introduced that is only available in recent versions of Qt. I will treat 
those as bugs.

Note that uic only generates code for the version of Qt it was shipped with. 
pyuic, on the other hand, tries to generate code for any version of Qt (with 
the same major number). There may be cases where pyuic can't do this without 
sacrificing portability or functionality.
