The API change here would be making some Qt methods increment the
refcount of objects what aren't owned but just required to be alive.
In this case, QHttp().get(...,qfile_instance) requires the
qfile_instance to be alive until the (asynchronous) fetch process
finishes. So, the bug author
was talking about making calls like this storing a reference to the
object, almost like the following pseudo code:
class QHttp(QObject):
def get(self, ..., fileobject):
self.qfile = fileobject
It may not look like a API matter in terms of signature but changes
the behavior of these calls. Anyway, this seems to be related to the
"Pythonic API" but can be put in a proper PSEP in the future.
