So PyQt returns NULL when an exception happens inside a Qt method, is
that correct?

I noticed when I returns an invalid return type (like False), I get
PyQt's TypeError as an exception without any segfault. What happens on
a C++ level there? Maybe other exceptions in there should be handled
the same way?
