[Paraview] Trying to load PyQt4.QtGui on windows

[Berk Geveci]

Did you compile ParaView yourself? I suspect that you did not and that
the Python ParaView includes is different than the one PyQt4 was
compiled against. If that is the case, you have to compile ParaView
yourself, against the Python as well as Qt PyQt4 uses.
