[Python-modules-team] Bug#667910: python-qt4: Raises "underlying C/C++ object has been deleted" while it has not been created

[Valentin Lorentz]

Package: python-qt4
Version: 4.9.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Hi,

When you subclass a QObject, overwrite the constructor, and forget to
call super(MyClass, self).__init__(), you get this error:
RuntimeError: underlying C/C++ object has been deleted

However, in this case, we get it because the object has not even been
created, so I think you should add another message for that (it took me
some time to figure out why I was getting this error).

Regards,
Valentin Lorentz
