Yours is an interesting one, jsharper. That error does not look right at all.

The only thing I can think is you are running some kind of mixture of pyside/python versions where a call has changed for qwebkit. I've seen similar things with the PyQt4 stuff when the versions in the repositories (Devel vs Extras for example) were different and people wound up with hybrid installations.

I will keep googling but I can't reproduce that problem.. it seems very strange.
