This separation prevents the user interface from freezing and ensures a smooth user experience. Qt provides QThread for managing threads, and QObject::moveToThread as a robust mechanism to execute QObject-derived operations in a ...

The underlying cause is Python’s garbage collector reclaiming the QThread wrapper object once the local variable goes out of scope, even though the ...
