Hi Hans-Peter,


It seems, that my other posts did not get through.

The problem seems to be known for 4.7.2.
For simple code I managed to work around the issue.
For the real more complicated I didn't. So it seems
I'll have to avoid 4.7.2.

Please see below:

For more complex multi widget examples it doesn't seem enough to just
destroy the main widget.
probably I had to recursively assign all widgets / dialogues sub widgets
to None.

So I'll just try to stay away from this pyqt release and stick with
older or newer ones.
