I think PyQt would have to copy the QString internally to do this, and
maybe it only copies a pointer to the QString. You would need to ask this
question on the PyQt mailing list to get an accurate answer to this
question; it's located here:

If you're reluctant to join another mailing list just to ask one question
then I can ask it on your behalf. Let me know if would prefer that.
