Odd version scheme

[Gisle Vanem]

I tried using Interactive Python with a PyQt4 console:
  "IPython.exe qtconsole"

But got a
  "ImportError: IPython requires PyQT4 >= 4.7, found 4.10.4"

Looking at Ipython's check (in site-packages\IPython\external\qt.py):
  if QtCore.PYQT_VERSION_STR < '4.7':
      raise ImportError("IPython requires PyQt4 >= 4.7, found 
%s"%QtCore.PYQT_VERSION_STR)

So even if '4.10' < '4.7', my '4.10' is newer. What odd version scheme is
this really? I just edited that line to read:
 if QtCore.PYQT_VERSION_STR < '4.10':

Seems to be working fine now.
