Thanks Phil. These are QWidgets which I'm modifying when my program emits a 
documentChanged() signal. There are race conditions where documentChanged() 
is emitted after the Qt object has been deleted. This seems quite nasty as 
you get random crashes which are hard to test for.

Is using @pyqtSlot the only workaround? Should I be using this for every 
slot which does something to the QObject if the signal is emitted from 
Python?

I assume the @pyqtSlot works because the signal is delivered via Qt and 
therefore never makes it because there is no Qt object.
