Hi all,
I am trying to develop a PyQt application, and I want to unittest it.
After three false starts, I am plainly unaware of something rather basic
- can some kind person please help me out?
This is a log to show what I have so far

You have two global variables called app, one is in the testCubic module
and the other is in the testAll.py script. They do not automatically
refer to the same thing.
To use a global from another module, you can either do an import, or you
can pass it as an argument. But beware of mutual imports.
