[PyQt] regression with sip 4.18 in kubuntu 16.10

[Wolfgang Rohdewald]

Hi,

the attached scripts work with kubuntu 16.04 and earlier but not with 16.10.

Those are the packages responsible for the regression:

pkgnew: (from kubuntu 16.10)
python-qt4_4.11.4+dfsg-2_amd64.deb
python-sip_4.18.1+dfsg-1_amd64.deb

pkgold: (from kubuntu 16.04)
python-qt4_4.11.4+dfsg-1build4_amd64.deb
python-sip_4.17+dfsg-1build1_amd64.deb

if I manually install those from 16.04 on a 16.10 system, the bug
disappears. And if I manually install those from 16.10 on a 16.04
system, the bug is there too.

I have not been able to reduce it to qt4-only, and I know that the
python-kde4 interface is buggy, and there is no hope
of it ever being fixed. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253123

But since the bug seems to come from the sip transition 4.17 to 4.18
I still hope you can find something. I need a solution to make my
application (kajongg) run on kubuntu again.

Output of the working script bug2.py:

sip is: 0x41100
pyqt4 is: 4.11.4
after connect

Output of the failing script bug2.py:

sip is: 0x41201
pyqt4 is: 4.11.4
