It's looking for the QCanvasSpline Python class object in the qtcanvas
module dictionary. This *should* always succeed. Check qtcanvas.py just
to make sure QCanvasSpline is defined as a class.

However - did you re-build the PyQt sources? I have not distributed a
source package for Qt v3.0.1 - only for Qt v3.0.2 (and later). Then
again if you didn't then I wouldn't have expected it to compile at all.
