Qt event queue overloading?

[wysota]

So my question is, has anyone seen this kind of behavior? Is it possible to destroy the event queue by having too complex of an event handler?

No, not really. I think you are facing one of two issues... either you have code that locks itself in your custom event handler causing the whole processing to stop or events are arriving into the queue at a much higher rate than they are processed causing the event handling mechanism to choke. I see no other possibility... unless there's some Python or PyQt issue involved.

That's what I thought to, but I don't have any shared objects in my event handler, so I have no mutexes that could be getting locked causing it to stall...

Maybe some infinite loop?
