Relatedly, I think there is a small problem with the PyQt4 documentation for
the overloaded QAbstractItemModel.createIndex method. It looks like Qt's
documentation for passing a pointer is being presented in PyQt4's method for
passing an identifier, and PyQt's pointer method documentation is empty.

When I first read PyQt's documentation for this method, there was nothing to
indicate that the id passed to createIndex should end up as the index's
internalId(), so I wrote a workaround. But now that I read Qt-4.5's
documenation for this method, it seems clear that these identifiers should
be equal.

By the way, is your windows machine 32 or 64 bit?
