You are certainly right, but maybe I was using a pip'ed version.

I never use the system python.  Only the one from python.org installed as 
its own framework.

Will you ever move to a more recent qt?   Will they ever back port a fix. 
 Seems you are on sort of shaky ground continuing to use an old version 
(despite the major changes in the qt 5 series).
