    Description

      If you launch Jupyter QtConsole using PySide2 as its Qt bindings, and exit it (even if you immediately close it after doing nothing) you will get this error when closing the window:

      $ jupyter-qtconsole
      Fatal Python error: deallocating None
      
      Current thread 0x0000000101896340 (most recent call first):
      Abort trap: 6
      

      This is probably due to reference counting not being right somewhere - not quite sure where this is happening yet though.

      Minimal example:

      from PySide2 import QtWidgets
      
      app_instance = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
      # If this is commented, application doesn't crash on exit anymore.
      app_instance2 = app_instance
      
      w = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
      w.setWindowTitle('Hello World!')
      w.resize(250, 150)
      w.show()
      app_instance.exec_()
