what's the meaning of the string "PyObject" used within the signature of

If I pass it a random python object I get core dumps and random crashes,
so I assume it's not really meant for that...
You can do Python-Python signals which Phil calls "short-circuit
signals" in PyQt [...]
Yes, this is in fact documented. I guess these short-circuit signals are
similar to the good old PYSIGNALs in PyQt3.
But this still does not answer my question: what does "PyObject" means in
the signature of a signal?
I'd just assumed any valid identifier.
I'm asking because I got segfaults when trying to pass python objects around
using SIGNALs and "PyObject" in the signature. Specifically, it seems that the
objects go through a SIP wrap/unwrap cycle, because the slot function receives
an object with a different id().
I was thinking that PyObject meant something like "any object wrapped by SIP",
but I can't understand the exact meaning.
