Not sure if this is the right place, please redirect me if this is the wrong place to log this bug.

In my unittest I am testing a PyQt GUI app.  It brings up the app window, runs a few tests, then quit.  On quit I get a "Python quit unexpectedly while using the QtGui plugin" crash, below is a partial report from OS X:

Thanks in advance.

Please report this first to PyQt.  If they determine that it is likely a Python bug (though that is unlikely) then a new ticket can be opened with more Python-specific information.  (To be clear: that error message is not one that is generated by Python itself, so it is most likely a PyQt message and bug.)

And more importantly: your report contains to little information to determine what's going on.  Even a full crashreporter log is fairly useless unless you have access to the original binary and debugging symbols.

Therefore:
* Try to reproduce the crash in a smaller program
* Ask on PyQt forums what's going wrong
* If they determine that this is likely a Python bug file a bug here with the information needed to reproduce the problem
