No, but a comment on the use of "global app" in the code... The effect of that is to impose some order on the garbage collection of Python objects. When main() returns the local objects get garbage collected in an arbitrary order. If that order is wrong as far as Qt is concerned then you get undefined behaviour or a crash. Specifying "app" as a global means that it will get garbage collected later. Personally I never use a main() function and put the code at the module level under "if __name__ == '__main__'". It should only be a few lines anyway. Phil _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
