text() returns a QString, which you should look up in the qt-reference-manual. 
That reveals the method

QString::utf8()

which returns a QCString. And that should be converted to a python byte string 
(by means of sip I think)

Then you need to _decode_ it as utf-8 to yield a unicode object. So the whole 
line should read

self.user.data["achternaam"] = self.GAchternaam.text().utf8().decode('utf-8')
