No doubt a dumb question from a noob:
The following program (a cut down version of some test code) uses no
CPU, and does not terminate:
import sys
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
if __name__=="__main__":
app = QCoreApplication(sys.argv)
sys.exit(app.exec_())
What is the program doing? What is the correct way to terminate the
execution?
Thanks in advance for educating me.
I've never used QT but other graphical toolkits I have used all start
their own "main loop" which is a loop that cycles round receiving,
queuing and dispatching "events". You probably need to call the
QCoreApplication's quit method to break out of this e.g.
app.exit() or something similar, have a look at some complete PyQt4
examples or google for PyQt4 mainloop.

Thanks. I've realized that QCoreApplication (or QApplication) manages the event
loop, and normally when it is executed you are showing a widget of some kind,
closing which ends the application. Alt-F4 acts like Ctrl-C to terminate from
the keyboard.
