Hi Nathan,
after this commit I am unable to start up my standalone application or python script neither from IDE application nor from Python Console. Therefore even the 'Run Script' command in Python Console does not work. I always get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sam/clipper.py", line 2, in 
    from qgis.core import *
  File "/usr/local/share/qgis/python/qgis/__init__.py", line 26, in 
    from PyQt4.QtCore import QPyNullVariant
ImportError: cannot import name QPyNullVariant

Do you have any hint ?
