According to the PyQt documentation [2] there are some API changes, but 
the ones listed don't look as if they are too disruptive.

However, having just tried to use PyQt 4.6 with TortoiseHg, I suspect 
that the PyQt and Qt version numbering isn't entirely synchronised: PyQt 
4.7 seems to add support for Qt 4.6 API features that PyQt 4.6 doesn't 
manage to support. Some of the features missing from PyQt 4.6 could 
probably be worked around, but it would need someone more familiar with 
them than I am.
