You are not allowed to distribute PyQt as dynamic loadable modules or a 
Python interpreter containing PyQt as builtin modules, because this 
would break the Qt commercial license. You either have to create a final 
executable with Python and PyQt linked in, or distribute your 
application without any PyQt components.


 From The Qt COMMERCIAL LICENSE AGREEMENT:

9.(vii) Applications may not pass on functionality which in any way 
makes it possible for others to create software with the Licensed Software;
