[PyQt] Create QMenus in different files

[Patrick Stinson]

Alain,

The first method is sufficient. Be sure that you are calling the class’s superclass constructor or it will complain that the instance is “not a QMenu.” For example:

class MyMenu(QMenu):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
