How well mixing the two threading APIs works depends on version numbers. A PyQt generated with SIP v4.x (rather than SIP v3.x) with Python v2.4 should be Ok. > I don't want to maintain two copies of the tools - one for command line > and > another for the PyQt version. > > I'm thinking it may be possible to modify the command line tools to use qt > threads instead of native python threads.
