Why don't you simply reorganize the code a bit so to provide another entry point which doesn't create your application? Any PyQt application should have a main no more complicated than this: if __name__ == "__main__": app = QApplication([]) w = MySuperMainWidget() w.show() app.exec_() just add a function like this: def entry(): global w w = MySuperMainWidget() w.show() and you're done with it. -- Giovanni Bajo Develer S.r.l. http://www.develer.com _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
