[Interest] QObject.destroyed() not working?!

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

Hi,

I'm pretty sure I'm misinterpreting how this should work so maybe you 
guys can help:

I have a QObject which I would like to run a simple clean up job just 
before it's destroyed.
I thought I could simply do this in it's constructor:
     self.destroyed.connect(self.__cleanUp)

Then have self.__cleanUp() to the work.
However, a simple print statement inside self.__cleanUp() shows that 
it's never run.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
frank
