[PyQt] PyQt and/or Qt problems on Windows Vista

[Francesco Biccari]

Installing an older version of Python 2.6 does not help.

Instead, installing the latest PyQt snapshot of the Riverbank website
(PyQt-win-gpl-snapshot-4.7.3-22b0acdb1b62)
the problem of "python crash on application exit" disappears.  : )

I hope Riverbank will provide a new "all-in" installer (4.7.4?) as
soon as possible.

Thanks for the help.

Ciao ciao.
Fra
