I can confirm this, with PyQt4 and PyQt5. The segfault seems to happen
when trying to repr() some object:

(gdb) bt full
#0  0x08220c8d in type_qualname (context=0x0, type=0xb78e9e2c) at
../Objects/typeobject.c:369
        et = 0xb78e9e2c
#1  type_repr.lto_priv () at ../Objects/typeobject.c:819
        mod = 'PyQt5.QtCore'
        rtn = <optimized out>
#2  0x081bca86 in PyObject_Repr (v=<sip.enumtype at remote
0xb78e9e2c>) at ../Objects/object.c:466
        res = <optimized out>
#3  builtin_repr.lto_priv () at ../Python/bltinmodule.c:1851
No locals.
#4  0x08131590 in call_function (oparg=<optimized out>,
pp_stack=<optimized out>) at ../Python/ceval.c:4221
        flags = 140111464
        n = 0
[...]

Also, calling help(Qt) or help(QTextEdit) in Python interactive shell
causes a segmentation fault as well.
