Vicent, thanks for the reminder, and yes, something is busted here:

from PyQt4 import QtGui
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
act = QtGui.QAction('&Save', None, shortcut=QtGui.QKeySequence.Save)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "action.py", line 4, in <module>
    act = QtGui.QAction('&Save', None, shortcut=QtGui.QKeySequence.Save)
TypeError: keyword arguments are not supported

On the pride side, the pyqtConfigure() method works still:

from PyQt4 import QtGui
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
act = QtGui.QAction('&Save', None)
act.pyqtConfigure(shortcut=QtGui.QKeySequence.Save)
