Interesting. The current way of initializing PyQGIS is indeed a bit cumbersome, it took me a while to get it working! It would be great for 3.0 to simplify the API.

I have an additional question : do you need a QApplication or just QCoreApplication? I'm using classes from QgsComposer and PyQt4.QtGui but do not display a GUI as the scripts are entirely automatic. They seem to work find with QCoreApplication ; are there any potential issues with doing this?

    I suppose QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) would be before the
    initQgis().... new Auth system need a QApplication to work.

    I can't remember where there were a Larry Shaffer post regarding
    this... I can't find it now. Please ttest and give confirmation in the
    list.

    regards
