Unfortunately you can't simply grab a precompiled build of PyQt and start
using it in Maya. Maya has a custom build of Qt, and your PyQt has to be
linked against it, otherwise you can end up with expected problems. Hence
the reason people have been hosting PyQt builds for different platforms and
Maya versions. So that might be your reason for crashing.
Having PySide now shipped with 2014 definitely makes this all much easier,
since you don't have to build anything.
As for your snippet... it seems to be doing a bunch of odd things.
Why are you using eval?
Why looping over length range of the list just to get the list value back
out?
When I reduce it to what I think it is doing, I end up with this:
for label in bttnLabels:
bttn = QPushButton(label)
self.mapper.setMapping(bttn, label)
bttn.clicked.connect(self.mapper.map)
buttonLayout.addWidget(bttn)
... which then can be switched to using partial instead of signal mapper
with this:
for label in bttnLabels:
bttn = QPushButton(label)
button.clicked.connect(partial(self.sayIt, label))
