--- Comment #2 from Shaheed Haque <srhaque@theiet.org> ---
I see crashes like this when there is a mismatch between the binaries/libraries
for Kate and PyKDE4. This in turn seems to happen when some variation of the
following happens:

1. The Kate package files don't match PyKDE4 files because the distro has not
rebuilt one of them.

2. The system has a mixture of old and new files as a result of a local build
of Kate (e.g. in /usr/local) versus the distro files (in /usr).

In this case, the original report mentions a new install of the Python
bindings, so I strongly suspect the former. I recommend making sure you have
contemporaneous builds of both Kate and PyKDE4. The real fix is probably for
your distro to update its dependencies so that Kate is rebuilt when the PyKDE4
is updated/rebuilt but the details are really down to how the packages are
handled (e.g. the dependency is strictly from PyKDE4 to the Python support in
Kate, some distros apparently package the latter separately from Kate itself).

For now, I'm closing this a not-a-bug, please reopen if further evidence points
otherwise.
