[PyQt] possible issue with PyQt5/QtMultimedia?

[David Beck]

I’m bulding an application using Qt5.5.1/PyQt5.5 on a Mac running OS 10.11 and bundling it as a standalone using py2app. As part of updating for Qt5, I needed to change references to QtGui.QSound from Qt4 to QtMultimedia.QSound. However, once I imported QtMultimedia, my bundled app began crashing on start up. I got the following in the Console:

The same code works fine if I run it in IDLE or Eric 6. If I import QtNetwork into my project, I can bundle the app and run it without any problems. However, I don’t use the QtNetwork module (and I get a warning about importing an unused module from Eric). This might mean something is up with QtMultimedia or PyQt5?
