[PyQt] pyqtdeploy error - QTextCodec.codecForLocale returns None

[Chandrakant Gopalan]

PyQt installs its own copy of Qt correct? Does that mean that the Qt in PyQt is returning the wrong locale?
I tried this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0>ipython
Python 3.5.1 (v3.5.1:37a07cee5969, Dec  6 2015, 01:38:48) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)]
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 4.2.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
?         -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help      -> Python's own help system.
object?   -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.

In [1]: from PyQt5.QtCore import QTextCodec

In [2]: QTextCodec.codecForLocale()

In [3]: QTextCodec.codecForLocale() == None
Out[3]: True

Thanks
Chandrakant

...you are likely to have the same locale settings.

See the Qt docs for what it's supposed to return.

The version in hg does.
