Hi Phil,

I've come across another issue using multitouch test functions.
Please have a look at QTouchEventSequence doc page
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qtest-qtoucheventsequence.html
I wrote the following sample to demonstrate the issue:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import sys
import inspect
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, QtTest

class MyLabel(QtGui.QLabel):
    def __init__(self, string, parent = None):
        QtGui.QLabel.__init__(self, string, parent)
        self.resize(500,300)

    def event(self, evt):
        if evt.type() == QtCore.QEvent.TouchBegin:
            print("TouchBegin!")
        #Double click causes QTouchEvent to be sent
        if evt.type() == QtCore.QEvent.MouseButtonDblClick:
            print("Double click!")
            self.testMT()
        return QtGui.QLabel.event(self, evt)

    def testMT(self):
        evSeq = QtTest.QTest.touchEvent(self)
        print(inspect.getmembers(evSeq))
        evSeq.press(0, QtCore.QPoint(10,10), self) #<------- Python
crashes here!
        print("MT event sent!")
        return

if __name__ == "__main__":
        app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
        label = MyLabel("Hello!")
        label.show()
        app.exec_()
        sys.exit()
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the line, where I try to call QTouchEventSequence.press() - Python
crashes with core dump.
Is this the real issue or just I am doing wrong things?

Thank you,
Anton Chikin
