It's up to you how you license your own application so there is no problem 
with dual licensing it - the GPL and one that is compatible with a Windows 
version of Qt and PyQt.

The problem is how do your users get a copy of Qt and PyQt? Depending on your 
circumstances, and those of your users, you have the choice of the 
non-commercial version (free but Qt v2 only), the educational version (free 
if you are an educational institution), or the commercial version (not free 
but you can redistribute Qt and PyQt to anybody with your application).
