[PyQt] Next PyQt, SIP, QScintilla Releases

Quoting Phil Thompson <phil at riverbankcomputing.com>:

>> The QImage constructor steals a reference to the uchar *data argument

>> It is the (not very well documented) responsibility of the Python

Thank you! That's my most pressing issue with PyQt ATM: Crashes and  
spurious problems because of memory corruption.
