Hi

Is it possible to guarantee that a C++ destructor of a QObject wrapped by PyQt is never called?

In C++ code, I can just avoid ever deleting the QObject, by not giving it a QObject parent, so that Qt does not manage its lifetime. In Python code, it isn't obvious to me whether Python might cause the C++ d'tor to be called, for example during interpreter shutdown.

The particular case I'm interested in is ~QProcess, whose destructor has the interesting (!) behaviour of sending the KILL signal to any child process that it may have started. I want to ensure that my program doesn't ever call that destructor, so that the KILL signal is guaranteed not to be sent (or at least, that it is only called after the child process has terminated for other reasons). Is that possible?

If I can't guarantee that from PyQt, can I write a simple sip wrapper that will achieve the same end, without copying and pasting the Qt code?
