What you describe is probably fairly common, but in this particular case, the patch is only needed if you are going to build a bespoke Python interpreter. This is a complicated enough process that the difficulty of having to apply a patch is probably insignificant. The potential savings of this patch lay mainly in avoiding the waste of time for people who will face the same problem and not understand why. As anecdotal evidence, just a couple of days after I had figured out what the problem was and had the patch ready, another guy found the same problem completely independently and posted some questions to the PyQt development list about it.
