Installing Python from source need some careful considerations about
 * what _other_ versions of Python are installed in the system?
 * which Python(s) are qscintilla, sip, PyQt build on..
because some parts of it (Qt, qscintilla) cannot be fenced in the VE, they're 
pure C++...

OTOH; your traceback, although missing symbols, points to some interference 
between Qt and Gtk (it looks, it crashes, where the native Gtk file dialog is 
bent into Qt...).

Please try to execute python examples/dialogs/standarddialogs.py (from PyQt5), 
and check, if the QFileDialog functions behave.
