You can't if you're in the constructor. What you have to do, is have your constructor post an event to show or exit. I use a singleshot timer with a time of 0. This will post the event immediately after the constructor is done.

How would I properly do that? Currently I tried: socket.close() #first close the socket self.close() #close the window, does not do anything in the init because the window is not actually shown yet sys.exit() works but gives me an error (QWaitCondition: Destroyed while threads are still waiting) What could I try next?
