The only problems I'm aware of are the name collisions between some built-in
functions and objects in QtCore. For example, importing everything from
QtCore into the main namespace will cause the hex() and oct() built-in
functions to be lost, though you can still access them via the __builtin__
module.

The SIGNAL and SLOT objects are also fairly generic names, so you might
have issues with those and other modules if you also import their names
into the main namespace.
