The problem is that creating (and quitting) multiple QApplications in
succession causes a segfault.  This situation tends to occur in unit tests,
particularly in testing subclasses of QApplication.

The following snippet illustrates the problem:

>>> from PyQt4 import QtGui
>>> app = QtGui.QApplication([])
>>> app.quit()
>>> app = QtGui.QApplication([])
>>> app.quit()
>>> app = QtGui.QApplication([])
Segmentation fault

according to the qt docs, only one application object should be created at a time, and there is a global qApp pointer which refers to the current instance.

this suggests that, in pyqt, something like the following should work:

from PyQt4 import QtGui
QtGui.qApp = app = QtGui.QApplication([])
app.quit()
QtGui.qApp = app = None
