Hi again, I tried Bernhard's solution and it worked like charm. After digging a little more into PyQt I found this thread [1] with some answers. Seems like QtNetworking deals with all this networking and threading issues internally, so my problem is solved that way.
Regarding Giovanni's comments, I confirm that behavior but I'm not familiar with multithreading and networking in Python, so I cannot imagine what could be the difference between using QtNetworking vs. threading/socket and if that is the expected behavior or not. Thanks for the help, Víctor. [1] http://python.6.n6.nabble.com/Threads-with-PyQt-Qt-s-or-Python-s-td1919800.html#a1919801 2012/6/19 G.
