Description
The suggested skeleton for pyqgis standalone scripts was:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from qgis.core import *
QgsApplication.setPrefixPath("/usr", True)
QgsApplication.initQgis()
# Uncomment to remove crash
#import sys
#from PyQt4 import QtGui
#app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
# Crashes in QgsOgrProvider ctor
layer = QgsVectorLayer('my.shp', 'my', 'ogr')
print layer.isValid()
Now this example crashes in QgsOgrProvider constructor, unless a QApplication exists.
I'm sure this was not the case in 2.8 and previous versions.
I'm not sure that this is a bug. If it isn't, the documentation should be changed to indicate that a QApplication is always needed, even when the script is not to be run interactively or does not use any GUI classes, this would mean that there will be no more two different kind of pyQGis standalon applications: standalone scripts (no GUI, no QApplication needed) and standard PyQt QApplication style applications.
