[PyQt] Unexpected segfault when using QSortFilterProxyModel with a QFileDialog

[Dave Peterson]

I must be doing something brain dead but I'm not sure what.   When I 
display a QFileDialog after having set a proxy model, I get a seg fault 
when the QFileDialog tries to save it's state.  Here's the top of the 
stacktrace -- perhaps there is enough info here for someone else to be 
able to tell where in the history() method something is going wrong?

And here's how I'm adding the proxy to the QFileDialog.

    dlg = QtGui.QFileDialog(parent, title, default_directory)
    class MyFilterProxy(QtGui.QSortFilterProxyModel):
        def filterAcceptsRow(self, source_row, source_parent):
            logger.debug('MyFilterProxy: %s, %s' % (source_row, 
source_parent))
            return super(MyFilterProxy, 
self).filterAcceptsRow(source_row, source_parent)
    proxy = MyFilterProxy()
    proxy.dynamicSortFilter = True  # filter whenever the source data 
changes
    dlg.setProxyModel(proxy)


Is the problem that the QFileDialog is taking ownership of the proxy 
instance and thus having memory fights with Python somehow?  Or does 
PyQt properly handle that situation?   If not, what's the right way to 
create a proxy instance so that this ownership over memory doesn't happen?
