I just tested your code with Mac OS X, Python 2.71 64bit and the latest PyQt4 and I got the same segfault. If you run the sam code from a .py file you will not get segfault, so I think something wrong happens inside the python console.
Here the traceback from tha crashed python interpreter: 0 ??? 000000000000000000 0 + 0 1 QtWebKit 0x0000000101926a46 WebCore::SharedTimerQt::qt_metacall(QMetaObject::Call, int, void**) + 54 2 QtCore 0x000000010372a2c6 QMetaObject::activate(QObject*, QMetaObject const*, int, void**) + 710 3 QtCore 0x0000000103800894 QCoreApplication::exec() + 244 4 QtCore.so 0x0000000104809363 qtcore_input_hook + 131 5 readline.so 0x00000001002efe35 call_readline + 293 6 org.python.python 0x0000000100008ee2 PyOS_Readline + 274 7 org.python.python 0x000000010000a738 tok_nextc + 104 8 org.python.python 0x000000010000aee3 PyTokenizer_Get + 147 9 org.python.python 0x0000000100005afa parsetok + 218 10 org.python.python 0x00000001000e6372 PyParser_ASTFromFile + 146 11 org.python.python 0x00000001000e75d3 PyRun_InteractiveOneFlags + 243 12 org.python.python 0x00000001000e78be PyRun_InteractiveLoopFlags + 78 13 org.python.python 0x00000001000e80a1 PyRun_AnyFileExFlags + 161 14 org.python.python 0x00000001000fe75c Py_Main + 2940 15 org.python.python 0x0000000100000f14 0x100000000 + 3860 On 27 February 2011 23:04, Robert Siemer <robert.siemer-riverbankcomputing.co...@backsla.sh> wrote: > On 02/28/2011 06:35 AM, David Boddie wrote: >> >> On Sun Feb 27 19:53:16 GMT 2011, Robert Siemer wrote: >> >>> What am I doing wrong? – The segmentation fault does not come >>> immediately.
