[PyQt] Reopening QT Window - Segfault

[Michka Popoff]

Hello

I need some help to implement a QT Window to draw some OpenGL in an
python-GTK2 application.
In the GTK application, I have a push button which will launch an OpenGL
scenery (In a QT window). I should be able to close the OpenGL Window and to
reopen it as many times as I want, without exiting the GTK application.

I used the code found here : http://www.siafoo.net/snippet/316 , but
rewritten for my app (as I call main() from the GTK part) :

def main():
    app = QtGui.QApplication(['Spiral Widget Demo'])
    window = SpiralWidgetDemo()
    window.show()
    app.exec_()


My code works perfectly under Mac OS X with python 2.7 and the pyQT port
from macports. But under Ubuntu 10.10 with python 2.6.6 I get a segmentation
fault if I try to reopen the window.

What I do :

- Open OpenGL Window (QT)
- Close it with the X
- Reopen it
- SegFault here

Why is there a difference between the OS X and ubuntu packages ? I have a
backtrace (made with dgb) of the segfault. It seems that the memory is not
cleared when I close the window. I don't want to use sys.exit because it
will also close my GTK app.

Thank you in advance if somebody has any explanation why this happens and
how to close the window properly and free up memory/threads which are
perhaps still open.
