[PyQt] Dependency on python3.dll

[Barry]

Isn't the problem that the venv did not get a copy of a dll that is critical to the python3 world?

I don't see this as a problem with PyQt5 as it will affect others extentions right?
(i'm giessing this is becuase of the ABI build stuff).

Am I missing something?
