Hi Aaron,

is there any particular problem why PyQt4.2.x wouldn't support Qt4.3.x
? From the first sight it looks like that it shouldn't be a problem
since PyQt4.2.x should use only subset of Qt API that was present in
Qt4.2.x - or am I wrong?

I expect that although they test only against latest stable version of
Qt, PyQt should generally work with all older versions of Qt4 (in case
it's built from source). You can see some conditional declarations in
*.sip based on Qt version that  should allow flawless compilation with
older Qt versions.
