| Python - UnicodeDecodeError? - Need help!

Hi guys,
I’m starting my big adventure (as i hope) with Python and by the way with writing widgets compatible for Maya & MoBu. I started learning it by following the video made by David Coleman ( http://area.autodesk.com/gdc2011/class3, big thx for that great vid) and unfortunately I met a painful as hell problem.
I can’t get anything working, that uses outside libraries like from PyQt4 QtCore, QtGui etc…
the error I get from Maya:
# Error: Error in maya.utils._guiExceptHook:
# File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Maya2011\Python\lib\site-packages\maya\utils.py", line 267, in formatGuiException
# exceptionMsg = unicode(exceptionObject.args[0])
# UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xbf in position 23: ordinal not in range(128)
#
# Original exception was:
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "<maya console>", line 2, in <module>
# ImportError: DLL load failed:
I’m working under Windows7 x64, with Maya/Python 2.6.4/PyQt v.4.8.4 (all x86). My system language is PL, the rest is EN (if that makes any useful info).
Last 2 days I spent on searching the solution, browsing the web/forums, but still I can’t go any closer. I will be very great-full for any kind of clue on that issue because I’m stuck and it’s driving me mad!
Sorry for my bad english

Ok, small update incoming, sorry for double posting but can anybody plz answer me something :))
I’ve got the same problems in MotionBuilder, running simple code like
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
gives me
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
and ofc a small headache :/
I’ve uninstalled/cleaned/reainstalled Python/Maya/MoBu/PyQt/Qt etc… same goes to environmental varaibles.
I can import and run scripts involving elements from QtGui in Python IDLE, but can’t in Maya/MoBu. I know I’ve missed something and I’m new in this, so if any expert could give me a hand, I really need got this working.
I’m using Maya/Mobu ( x86) with Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 onboard
PyQt GPL v4.8.4 for Python v2.6 (x86)
Qt by Nokia v4.7.2 (MinGW OpenSource)
and
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
