PyQt creates a proxy when a slot is not a Qt slot (ie. not a QObject
method decorated with pyqtSlot). A new proxy is created for each connection
so, as far as Qt is concerned, the connections in your example are not
unique.

If you convert your slot, ie. so that it is a method of A and decorated
with pyqtSlot, then the second call to connect() will fail.
