[PyKDE] Re: QDrag.start, Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS

[Patrick Stinson]

Rarely is staring at a screen all night a fruitful endeavour, but last
night was an exception. I Recalled something about always releasing
the GIL in sip-3, and found the -g command line option for sip 4. I
added it to qt_sip_args and it worked.

What comments do you have on PyQt4's configure.py and extra sip
options like this one, and on the performance hit gui apps may take
from adding this option?

cheers
