That’s odd. What is printed if you run “python -c ‘import Cocoa; print(Cocoa.__file__)’’?

I don’t know because I’ve never used PyQt on OSX. The registration code in finishLaunching should work just as well in a Qt application (that just uses the Carbon package to register a hotkey), but I don’t know how you’d inspect native events in PyQt (the code in sendEvent_).
