[PyQt] Can I create more than one instance of a class?

Bad idea. As a rule of thumb, you don't want to use 'import *' when you 
can avoid it. It's okay while your app is small; but once it grows, 
trust me, you'll be glad you can tell at a glance what comes from what 
module. So you may want to learn the best practice right away and 
avoid 'import *'. :)

> a = new_window
> a.show()
> b = new_window
> b.show()
> c = new_window
> c.show()

You are referencing the SAME instance, 'new_window', in all cases! If 
you want different instances, you need to instantiate your class each 
time. So, assuming your class is called MyWindow, your code should look 
like:

from MyWindow import MyWindow ## Give the module a descriptive name too!

a = MyWindow()
a.show()
b = MyWindow()
b.show()
c = MyWindow()
c.show()

print a, b, c


Perhaps your are not very well at ease with how Python works yet? If so, 
there are excellent tutorials out there:
