[PyQt] Tips for debugging pyqtdeploy on android?

[bootch at nc.rr.com]

Attempting to run or debug a pyqtdeployed helloworld app from QtCreator.  I get in application output window:

Some of the logcat:

I/ActivityManager(  360): Start proc org.qtproject.example.hello for activity org.qtproject.example.hello/org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity: pid=1460 uid=10018 gids={50018, 3003, 1028, 1015}^M

I/ActivityManager(  360): Process org.qtproject.example.hello (pid 1460) has died.^

I'm new at Android.  I don't understand which messages are important.

It seems like the app is crashing before the debugger gets started, so the debugger can't produce a crash dump.

I suppose I should resort to harnessing the code with writes to logcat (or is Qt Creator redirecting stdout/stderr to the "application output" window?)
