I've fixed it by patching PyQt3, very little activity there any more,
they've only made about 2 minor commits since the last release. I'll drop
Phil a mail though, he only removed the macro recently,

with Qt v5.

Don't know about mnemosyne, but there aren't all that many ldap admin
tools, so I'd rather not drop luma just for the sake of avoiding a
simple fix ;)
