Hi Matthew, Yes, the first thing I tried was:
app = QtGui.QApplication([]) ... del app But, the next test raises the exception about there already being a QApplication instance when it runs that first line. That's why I resorted to poking around trying to figure out where PySide is keeping track of that original instance causing it to raise that exception. -Dan -- Dan McCombs Senior Software Engineer / Dyn http://dyn.com/ Are you prepared for website disaster?
