Default argument for QApplication?

[Florian Bruhin]

Hi,

PyQt requires passing sys.argv (or [] for quick tests) to QApplication,
probably because Qt in C++ requires passing argc/argv.

I recently noticed that PySide (both 2 and 6) doesn't require that, and
defaults to sys.argv when no argument is given. While a [] is only two
characters, sometimes even for quick test scripts it'd be good to pass
custom arguments to Qt, and an "import sys" and passing "sys.argv" is a
bit more typing :)

Maybe PyQt should default to sys.argv as well? Or do you prefer
"explicit is better than implicit" here?

Florian
