PyQt4: Why does Python crash on close when using QTreeWidgetItem?
- by Rini
I'm using Python 3.1.1 and PyQt4 (not sure how to get that version number?). Python is crashing whenever I exit my application. I've seen this before as a garbage collection issue, but this time I'm not sure how to correct the problem.
This code crashes:
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui
class MyWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self, parent)
self.tree = QtGui.QTreeWidget(self)
self.setCentralWidget(self.tree)
QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem(self.tree) # This line is the problem
self.show()
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
mw = MyWindow()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
If I remove the commented line, the code exits without a problem. If I remove the 'self.tree' parent from the initialization, the code exits without a problem. If I try to use self.tree.addTopLevelItem, the code crashes again.
What could be the problem?
