Impossible to say without example code.

...only needs to be...

sipAPI_QtCore = reinterpret_cast<const 
sipAPIDef*>(PyCapsule_Import("PyQt5.sip._C_API", 0));
PyImport_ImportModule("PyQt5.QtCore")

Make sure you aren't #including sipAPIQtCore.h. Those files are internal 
and contain nothing public.
