[PyQt] "Abort Trap: 6" on exception on GUI thread

[Maxwell Grady]

PyQt > 5.5 will always Abort when there is an unhandled exception which in
this case is the TypeError as a result of the raise statement. (
http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/incompatibilities.html)

To my knowledge that behavior can't be turned off with any form of
configuration.
