In PyQt class methods are lazy, ie. they are only put into instance 
dictionaries when they are needed (ie. when they are referenced). While 
doing this isn't "normal", it greatly reduces the startup time and 
memory footprint.

In PyQt 3.1 this technique was extended to enums - which is how the Key_ 
values are implemented. The disadvantage is that what you are trying to 
do becomes impossible.
