</div><nitpick>Thats not true actually, you can create the most complex model<br>
imaginable without using the internalPointer, simply by using the<br>
internalId and the related createIndex overload. That also automatically<br>
solves any problems created by python's refcounting+garbage collection<br>
(if you forget to store a reference to an object for the model in your<br>
model)<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Could you please sugggest an example of this approach, if you know of one? I started a thread on March 10 on this mailing list ("seeking advice on why this script segfaults") where I put together an unsatisfying work around to avoid segfaults that were probably caused by my use of internalPointer.<br>
