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

[lloyd konneker]

The Qt documentation for C++ does not necessarily explain how PyQt 
should work.  You must interpret, and often ignore, certain parts of the 
C++ documentation.

In this case, since the documentation you refer to talks about 'static 
linking' and libraries, it is probably something you should ignore, 
since static linking is a C++ concept and not a Python concept.

Do you have a use case where you must use 'qrc:///' instead of ':/' ?
