[PySide] most basic QThread problem

[Dan McCombs]

Hey Frank,

I think the real reason you're getting that message isn't the subclassing
piece, but that your program is exiting before the thread has finished.
There's nothing in your application to keep it running after running the
doIt method, so it exits, and destroys the thread. Normally you would have
a QApplication instance and be calling the exec_ method on that after doIt
to start your application's event loop and keep it running, until it was
quit via some user interaction.
