PyQt4 to PyQt5 -> mainFrame() deprecated, need fix to load web pages

Question

I\'m doing Sentdex\'s PyQt4 YouTube tutorial right here. I\'m trying to follow along but use PyQt5 instead. It\'s a simple web scraping app. I followed along with Sentdex\'s

Answer 1

Never too late... I got the same issue and found description of it here: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/gotchas.html#crashes-on-exit

I followed the advice of puting the QApplication in a global variable (I know it is dirty... and I will be punished for that) and it works "fine". I can loop without any crash.

Hope this will help.
