I have a class similar to the below that keeps a reference to itself so that it doesn't get garbage collected.
class sample(qdialog): def __init__(...): qwidget.__init__(...) self._keep = self ... def closeEvent(self,event): self._keep = None ... class ...(QWidget): def myfunc(self): inst = sample(0,name,FALSE) # created so its modeless with no parent self.connect(self,PYSIGNAL("closing()"),inst.closeMe) return When should I delete the reference to the object? When WDestructive close is passed as a parameter I get the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/kibab/.../src/gui/MainInterfaceImpl.py", line 1346, in closeEvent self.emit(PYSIGNAL("closeChild()"),() ) RuntimeError: Underlying C/C++ object has been deleted However, the documentation says: "Note that when a slot is a Python callable object it's reference count is not increased. This means that a class instance can be deleted without having to explicitly disconnect any signals connected to its methods." (http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/docs/x225.html). Disconnecting doesn't work, however, per my last post. What do other people do when they want to have a modeless non-parented dialog?
