[PyQt] Python Threads do not work when QWidget is extracted from sip.unwrapinstance

[Deepak Hosamane]

Hi,

I am trying to create an application which can simply embed PyQt5 scripts as QWidgets into my C++ Qt-GUI( in Windows ) application.
I was successful in embedding the scripts in my application but the threads written inside the Python scripts simply won't work.
After having read a few articles on GIL interpreter locks, it looked to me like they are not applicable in my case as these python threads are not to be called explicitly by the C++ application.

Could someone kindly guide me on what could be done to enable these Python threads in my C++ Application.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sample code has been attached for reference.( To run the executable just place the Screen.py file where the Executable is generated ... )

Thanks  and Warm Regards,
Deepak.H
