[Eric] is Eric4 an example of PyQt threading?

[Caleb J. Howard]

I'm trying to find an example anywhere of a python application which uses 
threading, and PyQt4.  I understand that the PyQt4 thread has to be the main 
thread, but even given this limitation, I'd love to see how to do such a 
thing.  A clever friend of mine recently pointed out to me that Eric4 is not 
only an excellent IDE, but it's also an excellent example of python coding, 
using many modules.  He said that Eric4 does use threading alongside a PyQt 
GUI.  Is that true?  Does anyone know off the top of their head where I mighe 
find such an example in the code tree?

Also, in general, regarding threading and PyQt4...  is there a good reason to 
use or shun the use of Qt threads?

Thanks, as always for any clues!
