[PyQt] Deadlock in 5.9.1

[Milorad Pop-Tosic]

We're seeing a deadlock after upgrading from PyQt5.8.2 to 5.9.1. Since our application is complex, it's difficult to pinpoint to what's causing this. The problem is intermittent, but it can be reproduced by repeatedly clicking on an action. I managed to get this stacktrace with VisualStudio:

As far as I understand this stacktrace, something is trying to get GIL at a QObject destruction, so I'm guessing that something that was supposed to release the GIL didn't.

We're going to keep trying to isolate the problem into a standalone test case, but any pointers would be much appreciated.


Thanks
