The package could only include the application - it could not include PyQt or Qt - in which case there is no problem. The users would then have to obtain PyQt and Qt for themselves. The application license must be compatible with the user's PyQt/Qt license, ie. BSD is fine, GPL isn't. There is then the thorny issue of what version of Qt you used to develop the application - you should use (or at least pay for) a version that is compatible with whatever your users are using, ie. not GPL. My personal view on this is that I'm happy for you to develop using the GPL version - so long as your Windows users buy the commercial version of PyQt.
