Description Hugo Parente Lima 2011-04-07 17:39:14 EEST

If a Qt based program exposes a Python shell you will have problems using
PySide in this shell due to the existence of an QApplication instance.

To test and fix it you need to write a small app that instantiates a
QApplication and loads and executes some Python code, the Python code would
have something like:

x.instance()
x.instance()
x.anymethod()

Even though this isn't a crasher bug, I wonder would it be prudent to make it
P2 because it blocks experimenting with embedding Python+PySide?

Comment 2 Hugo Parente Lima 2011-04-07 21:29:52 EEST

I have no objections.

Increasing priority on behalf of EM. :-)

Uhh... Sorry, there was a glitch in the matrix. The bug page showed P3 even
after the reload, although the bug history clearly indicates you already
increased the priority. Go figure.
