[Interest] running Qt main event loop in secondary thread

[Stefan Seefeld]

Hi Thiago,

if you have a look at the little sample script I attached to my mail you'll
see that I'm actually constructing the application object within the
function that is executed in the other thread.
I do however import PyQt5 modules at the top of my script, and if I move
those imports into the function the warning goes away.
Does this suggest that PyQt5 itself instantiates a QApplication as a global
object ?
