Thank you for your continues effort. I saw your email to pyside with the bug report, today I think (our time - Australia). I think they did fix it. As I use binaries, I will have to wait a while, or take a deep breath and face the compiling :). I wandered why all programs failed in the same manner, reporting incompatibility of argument in QApplication(argument)! You have a great program, you do great work and show immense endurance - congratulations and a well deserved THANK YOU. OldAl. -- Algis Kabaila http://akabaila.pcug.org.au/
