That message is coming from Qt, which doesn't know about Python exceptions.

I'm guessing it's referring to C++ exceptions, which you won't catch in Python
via an excepthook or "except".

So the question is why there's a C++ exception thrown, and from where... No
idea how to debug that to be honest. Maybe you can get gdb to break on any
exception or something?
