OK. When people talk about getting objects from C++ land, I tend to 
assume that they're embedding Python.

That's what I meant. It's really only meant for peculiar situations 
involving embedded interpreters, so you shouldn't need it here because 
SIP will do the right thing. 
 
I ran the test program that you posted in another message 
(http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/pipermail/pykde/2004-November/008977.html) 
and found that it always crashed the second time I clicked the update 
button. 
 
I changed oldForm.close(1) in line 33 of test.py to oldForm.close() and 
experienced no crashes for the admittedly short time that I ran it again. 
I think that the problem may be that you're instructing Qt to delete the 
objects on the C++ side, and SIP isn't too happy about this later on. 
 
Hope this helps, 
 
David
