As we know that UPX creates unstable pyqt (and I assume pyside) bundles, disabling it would make sense. However, having a hook that goes beyond its mission (to import modules) seems strange. I suggest simply documenting the problem in the section on UPX in the manual. Also, in my view, I think the default setting for UPX should be *disabled* regardless of the application. In my view, the main problem of single file bundles is not their size but their slow startup time. Disabling UPX should speed up this process slightly. As we know UPX is also sometimes creating completely broken PyQT (Pyside?) applications, there is a chance that it is breaking other applications too. The console error reports are not helpful either. Python just crashes. Users of PyInstaller will just think that it doesn't work.
