[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.4, 2.2 etc--Python support disabled -- Can not load PYQt4

[Tim Paysen]

I have been fighting this problem for some time, with no satisfactory suggestions.  I  use Windows 7, with the 32-bit version of qgis (and of Python 2.7.6).  I just loaded the new qgis 2.4 and have the same problem.

Couldn't load PyQt4.
Python support will be disabled.


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.


...followed by a large 'Python Path  list that includes all of the pathways to the various PyQt4 elements contained in the Qgis program folder.  The error message is of no use.


I hesitate including the pathways listed, but it could help someone figure this out.  By the way, there are some things in the path list regarding qgis that I did not put into my System Path.

Python path:
