It will work if you add QtCore.Qt.DirectConnection to the connect of the
finish() signal.

A change in the current snapshot is that the proxy that wraps a Python
callable to receive a signal is deleted sooner (ie. it doesn't use
deleteLater() any more). I'm guessing that this means that it's now being
deleted in the same iteration of the event loop that is deleting the
thread.

However, this shouldn't matter as (I think) the finished() signal should be
delivered synchronously and not queued as it appears to be doing. The Qt
code that decides whether or not to queue the signal is a bit obscure - it
doesn't do the obvious things of comparing thread ids.
