Looks like I forgot to port the examples to Python v2. The version issue is explained here... http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#selecting-incompatible-apis So, for Python v2, you need the following before you import a PyQt module... import sip sip.setapi('QString', 2) sip.setapi('QVariant', 2) You can also include them for Python v3 where they will just be ignored. The dip-builder script generates the correct, portable, code.
