That's disappointing to hear.

I think that the problem is with the ownership of the QCanvas, although 
it's very strange if that really is the case since you pass it to the 
QCanvasView. I "fixed" your example so that it would work by giving the 
QCanvas a parent when it is created. I've included the modified code below. 
 
Hope this helps,

import qtcanvas 
import qt 
import sys 
 
class Widge(qt.QWidget): 
    def __init__(self): 
        qt.QWidget.__init__(self, None) 
        self.setCaption('Line?') 
        c = qtcanvas.QCanvas(self) # <- gives the canvas a parent QObject 
        c.resize(100, 100) 
        v = qtcanvas.QCanvasView(self) 
        lay = qt.QVBoxLayout(self) 
        lay.addWidget(v) 
        v.setCanvas(c) 
        l = qtcanvas.QCanvasLine(c) 
        l.setPen(qt.QPen(qt.Qt.black)) 
        l.setPoints(10,10,90,90) 
        l.show() 
        c.update() 
        self.resize(self.sizeHint()) 
 
class App(qt.QApplication): 
    def __init__(self, args): 
        qt.QApplication.__init__(self, args) 
        self.w = Widge() 
        self.w.show() 
        self.setMainWidget(self.w) 
 
app = App(sys.argv) 
app.exec_loop()
