[PyQt] [SIP] Python crash with QString

[Demetrius Cassidy]

Well, my educated guess is it's because PyQt4 is being compiled with VS2010,
but the Python binaries are all compiled under VS2008. I've had issues
before trying to use sip/PyQt4 compiled with VS2010, with Python compiled
with 2008, in that strings would end up being blank or having odd crashes
going from C++ to Python.

To keep it short, I do not recommend you mix dlls created with VS2010 with
Python built under VS2008, it has tended to cause issues at least for me.
