The comma worked, thank you!

The crash happens when I pass __pyqtSignal__ a tuple (so it happened 
with the single signal + comma as well). Here is part of the code:

[...]

__pyqtSignal = ("valueDChanged(double)",)

[...]
	@QtCore.pyqtSignature("setValueDouble(double)")
	def setValueDouble(self, value = None):
		if value !=self.valueD:
			if value is not None:
				self.valueD = value
			self.setValue(int(round(self.valueD*100)))
		seelf.emit(QtCore.SIGNAL("valueDChanged(double)"),value)
			self.update()
[...]


I managed not to crash designer by using self.valueD instead of value 
when I emit the signal. My guess is that the problem is "value" that by 
default is "None", am I right?

Thanks for the help!
