Just a side-note here, but this was very helpful for figuring out if I'd actually managed to build PyQt5 correctly. (It turns out I'd missed a build requirement for having graphics.)

Thank you, cgoldberg. 🙂

Thanks a lot! Also just a side note: in Python 3, exec is not a keyword any more, so with Python 3 and PyQt 5, you may now also write app.exec() rather than app.exec_()
