Cannot import QtCore or QtGui from PyQt4

Question

I have found plenty of posts regarding this issue, but no answers that work for me.

PROBLEM:
I am trying to run this code:
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
I get this error in return:
ImportError: cannot import name QtCore
I append the path to PyQt4 to sys.path (C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4) and importing just PyQt4 throws no errors. I can see that QtCore.pyd and QtGui.pyd are in that directory and the directory has its __init__.py file.

Specs:
Windows 7 x64
python v2.6.8
PyQt v4.10.4

If you're using Python-2.6.x, you will have to use an installer for an earlier version of PyQt4. The most recent version available is for PyQt-4.10/Qt-4.8.4, which can be downloaded from here:

• PyQt4-4.10-gpl-Py2.6-Qt4.8.4-x64.exe
• PyQt4-4.10-gpl-Py2.6-Qt4.8.4-x32.exe
