Yeah, your code works fine for me. I don't know what the problem is then.

Right now, to delete an item from the canvas, I'm doing the following inside 
my canvas class:

def deleteObject(self, x):
    x.setCanvas(None)
    self.items.remove(x)
    del x
    self.update()

Actually it's a bit more complicated than that, but that's the main part.  
Maybe you're right that the segfault only occurs in more complex code...
