    Description

      PyQt5 is causing segmention fault when a urllib3 request to read a webpage is made from inside a QApplication event loop.

      The error occurs if, for example, a PyQt5 button-click is used to execute the urllib3 request. The same error occurs if the urllib3 request is run inside the loop without any PyQt5 form being opened. (The same error also occurs with the basic version of urllib, though I have not demonstrated that here).

      Attached routine - test_parse_script.py - shows that this is so. It can be used to run a urrllib3 request outside and inside the PyQt5 event loop, as well as opening a Qt form that runs a urrllib3 request as a button event.

      I can provide more debug info if you would help by instructing me how to get it.

      Below is shown the output of the test routine. It executes a urllib3 request in these different scenarios (and combinations thereof):

      • upon script load
      • during command-line execution of script
      • during command-line execution of script, inside PyQt5 QApplication event loop
      • from within a Qt form, upon button-click
      • upon instantiation of a test class
      • upon execution of a function

      ##  test output ##
