I didn't have much time to test this, so I must have missed something
(sorry!): in fact, on a fresh Windows XP SP2 install, all is working well
with Python 2.5.2, PyQt 4.4.2, matplotlib 0.91.2 and NumPy 1.0.4.
However, with Python(x,y) distribution installed, when I simply uninstall
PyQt 4.3.3 and then install PyQt 4.4.2, I get the missing MSVCP80.dll error
when importing QtCore module for example (of course everything is ok with
PyQt 4.3.3 even with the whole Python(x,y) distro installed).
So, I really don't know how, but it must be related to the new release...
