Absolutely. I don't question your motivations here, don't get me wrong. > In such conditions the least I would expect from Markus is to accept > the offer I made (i.e. free access to a machine where this happens always). Even if you were to give me access to the machine where the src:python- qtpy failures happen randomly, I don't know what I would be able to do with it. Perhaps Markus is feeling the same, who knows. As far as this bug is concerned, all I can do is tag it for help, since I have no clue how to make any sort of progress. If yourself or someone else finds a fix for it, I will happily incorporate the corresponding patches. Cheers, Ghis
