Hi everybody, The following is a small test yielding a segmentation fault with PySide, but not with PyQt4.
To test with PyQt4, use: $ python example.py To test with PySide: $ python example.py pyside With PySide, a segmentation fault appears as soon as the mouse cursor is hovering the plot area. Without the NavigationToolbar (try to comment the corresponding lines), the problem does not appear. It may be related to the display of mouse coordinates in the NavigationToolbar, because when the mouse is hovering the NavigationToolbar, no segfault appears. These are the versions of Qt, PySide, and Matplotlib on my machine: >>> from PySide import QtCore >>> QtCore.qVersion() '4.8.1' >>> from PySide import __version__ >>> __version__ '1.1.0' >>> import matplotlib >>> matplotlib.__version__ '1.1.1rc' Is this a bug? If yes, does any workaround exist? Thanks in advance, TP ########### example.py ############ #!/usr/bin/env python import sys if len(sys.argv) >= 2 and sys.argv[1] == "pyside": from os import environ environ['QT_API'] = 'pyside' from PySide.QtCore import * from PySide.QtGui import * else: from PyQt4.QtCore import * from PyQt4.QtGui import * from matplotlib.figure import Figure from matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg import FigureCanvasQTAgg as FigureCanvas from matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg import NavigationToolbar2QTAgg class MplCanvasXY( FigureCanvas ): def __init__( self, title = None, xlabel = None, ylabel = None, parent=None ): self.fig = Figure() self.axes = self.fig.add_subplot(111) self.axes.grid(True) FigureCanvas.__init__( self, self.fig ) self.setParent( parent ) app = QApplication( sys.argv ) d = QDialog() vb = QVBoxLayout() canvas = MplCanvasXY() vb.addWidget( canvas ) navigationToolbar = NavigationToolbar2QTAgg( parent = canvas , canvas = canvas ) vb.addWidget( navigationToolbar ) d.setLayout( vb ) d.show() sys.exit( app.exec_() ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
