[PyQt] qrc:/// not working to access resources?

[Shriramana Sharma]

Hello. I'm using PyQt 4.10.3 with Qt 4.8.4 on Kubuntu Saucy.

As per my local Qt4 doc it is valid to access rcc-ed (and imported)
resources by just :/path/to/file or qrc:///path/to/file. As per the
examples at http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/resources.html it seems
qrc:/path/to/file is valid as well. However, on my system only :/ is
working and not the other two. Please see the following session with the
attached code:

$ ls
res.png  res.qrc  test.py
$ cat res.qrc
<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource>
<file>res.png</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
$ pyrcc4 -py3 res.qrc -o res.py
$ cat test.py
#! /usr/bin/env python3
from res import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import QImage
i = QImage("qrc:///res.png")
print(i.isNull())
i = QImage("qrc:/res.png")
print(i.isNull())
i = QImage(":/res.png")
print(i.isNull())
$ python3 test.py
True
True
False
$

Am I doing anything wrong? Please advise. Thank you.
