Of course - I wrote the original version.

There are differences between BA and "normal" PyQt. BA is based on the 
professional edition (plus a couple of extras), not the enterprise edition. 
It tends to lag behind PyQt (it was stuck on Qt v2 until very recently). The 
bundled mxODBC license is useless in a commercial situation. It is Windows 
and Linux only (you don't get source). You can't use any 3rd party Qt 
extensions.
