The QWebEnginePage constructor has two overloads:

    QWebEnginePage(QObject *parent = Q_NULLPTR)
    QWebEnginePage(QWebEngineProfile *profile, QObject *parent = Q_NULLPTR)

Since a QWebEngineProfile is a valid QObject, and you don't pass a
second argument, the first one gets selected - i.e. you get the default
profile, and your profile as a parent object for the page.

If you pass self.webview as a second argument, all works like intended.

This makes me wonder if C++ handles this differently though - does it
select the second overload because it's a more specific match? If it
does, this might be a "bug" in how PyQt selects which overload to run.
