Hi,

I am having some trouble with an OSX app built by PyInstaller using PyQt4 and 
Qt5. It used to work with PyQt4 + Qt4 so I assume that my issue is related to 
Qt5. I'm developing on OSX 10.8.3.

My test app, hello.py, simply shows a message box:

import sys
from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication, QMessageBox

def main():
     print "Hello"
     a = QApplication(sys.argv)
     m = QMessageBox(QMessageBox.Information, "Title", "Hello")
     m.show()
     a.exec_()

if __name__=="__main__":
     main()

When packaging a python program PyInstaller creates a directory with all the 
required files and then packages that into an app bundle. If I execute the 
program from the build directory (./dist/hello/hello) then the program runs and 
the message box shows. However if I run the .app (open ./dist/hello.app or 
./dist/hello.app/Contents/MacOS/hello) the program runs but the message box 
never appears.

I suspected that this may have been due to a problem with the qt_menu.nib dir. 
I 
had to modify PyInstaller so it could find it in 
$QTDIR/qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/cocoa. PyInstaller puts it in both 
Contents/MacOS and Contents/Resources but dtruss tells me that Qt is looking in 
Contents/MacOS/qt4_plugins/platforms/. However copying it there doesn't help. 
Of 
course the issue may be unrelated to qt_menu.nib because I don't see any error 
messages about it.

What else could be going wrong? How do I debug this?

Glenn
