What do you mean with 'very PyQt specific'?
Do you mean the fact, that SIP has to do the error checking after a 
method call, not knowing if it has called a method from a PyQt class or 
from any other class that is wrapped with SIP?
PyQt or any other extension wrapped with SIP could install an optional 
exception handler hook, that is called by SIP, indicating how to handle 
the exception (propagate to caller or use PyErr_Print()).
