I experienced something similar (on WinXP, though) when I upgraded from PyQt4 4.5.4 to 4.7.X. I wrongly assumed that the 4.7 installer would be aware that an existing PyQt4 installation was present and gracefully upgrade it. What I ended up with were two installations that were mixed with each other, Qt binaries and all, in a confused mess in the PyQt4 directory. I also had multiple PyQt4 entries in my PATH. In the end, as far as I could tell, it looked like the Python front end of PyQt was getting confused and attempting to access the wrong Qt binaries. You might consider blowing away PyQt4, cleaning your path, and reinstalling that fresh.
