The Code-Corner

To use the twisted reactor inside a Qt gui application, I’m using the qt4reactor package:

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

import qt4reactor
qt4reactor.install()

from twisted.internet import reactor
factory = Factory()

gui = Gui(app)

gui.show()
reactor.runReturn()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

But I realized that after the “reactor.runReturn()” line, each QFileDialog freezes the complete program.

filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName()

A solution is to use the non-native dialog instead:

filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(options=QtGui.QFileDialog.DontUseNativeDialog)
