Qt always destroys all child objects with the parent, which is OK in C++, but does not play well with garbage-collection. And the python bindings (ruby ones seem to be better) fail to check reference validity, so you can quite easily segfault the python interpreter. Gtk plays much better with dynamic languages.
I have used PyQt for some smaller projects (notably Hgct, a no longer developed commit tool for git and Mercurial. See http://repo.or.cz/w/hgct.git?a=tree). For me PyQt has worked very well. The python interface to Qt is more or less a direct translation of the C++ interface, so the excellent documentation troll tech provides for Qt can be used when developing with PyQt as well. I have never seen the segfaulting you mention. Maybe my programs have been too small to trigger that bug... - Fredrik - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
