[PyQt] Re: Help with threads and signalling

My first guess was more of a hack, a better way to do what you want is to
connect a signal to the QTimer stop instead of calling its stop method.

ie in your run method:

        self.connect(self,SIGNAL("foo()"),self.timer,SLOT("stop()"))

and then in your shutdown method emit the signal:

        self.emit(SIGNAL("foo()"))

Instead of using self.timer.stop()

I read some of the documentation to figure this out.
