[PyQt] Compiling PyQt on Windows with Mingw

[Theuns Heydenrych]

HI
I get Sip and PyQt compiled successfully and get both installed.
I am using Python 2.7

When executing
*>>> from PyQt4.Qt import **

It just fails, i cant figure out what is going wrong where.
I tried  python -v to get more info, so here is what i get.

I had a look at the C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\__init__.py, and it
looks like there is nothing in the file, is this correct?
Here is the contents of the __init__.py file
