[PyQt] pyqtdeployed app crashes on launch

[Dave Gradwell]

I am trying to pyqtdeploy one of the PyQt5 example applications.
pyqtdeploy seems to do its job successfully, however,
when I double-click the application, it immediately crashes.

The Mac 10.9 environment has a statically built Python 3.4.1, statically built PyQt 5.3 and statically built SIP 4.16.1.  Qt 5.3.1 was installed using Qt's Mac installer - I didn't build it statically from source...

I ran macdeployqt on the .app bundle - but it still crashes.

A snippet from the crash log follows.
I would be very grateful for any advice.

(Thanks again Phil and Lloyd for advice so far - much appreciated.)

With thanks, Dave.
