[PyKDE] Attached program hangs after 1 "print" in 3.10 and 3.11

[James Lamanna]

The simple program below does not produce the desired behavior, which is
to print text to a QTextBrowser once a second from another thread.
Instead it just hangs after the thread posts 1 event.
Is there something I'm doing horribly wrong?
This breaks on 3.10 and 3.11 of PyQt with Qt 3.3.0
(using Gentoo emerge to install)
Thanks.
Please CC me for I am not subscribed.
