I have a class for that:
from PyQt4 import QtGui
########################################################################
class QApplication( QtGui.QApplication ):
"""a singleton QApplication class
"""
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
def __new__(cls, *args):
if cls.instance() == None:
# create a QApplication
QtGui.QApplication(*args)
# return the instance
return cls.instance()
I derive my QApplications from that class, and it works under both 2009 and
2011...
