Upsteam reported these ways: " Just add lines like these to the code that uses the pdftools package: from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication app = QApplication([]) Or, if the sys module has been imported, like these: from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication app = QApplication(sys.argv) " sorry but I can't test, since I don't have installed python-qt4.

It would be nice to have some workaround until the bug is solved upstream: removing python-qt4 is not a solution here because I have daily-used applications that depend on it.

Talking with upstream we found that if you don't have Qt python bindings installed (like me) there is no errors, and the same for a correctly setup environment (the one with a QApplication configured). It seems that python-pdftools does not setup QApplication. Upsteam is considering removing the code using QApplication (since not too much useful) or let it be optional.

Hi Sandro, I think I have the latest python-qt4 from sid : 4.3.3-2 Is this the same for you?
