Ubuntu
software-center package

Is it possible to use software-center and aptdaemon together?

Asked by Dmitry Shachnev on 2010-12-07

I have the following Python code:

import sys
from aptdaemon import client
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from softwarecenter.apt.aptcache import AptCache
apt_client = client.AptClient()
apt_cache = AptCache()
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
sys.exit(app.exec_())

(/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwarecenter is a link to /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/)
When I run it, Python (2.6) crashes with SIGSEGV.
I need software-center modules for displaying lists of packages in category, and aptdaemon to install them. This code is just an example of crash, the real code I need is of course bigger.
Am I doing something wrong, or it's a bug?

Oh! There is even no need of aptdaemon in this crash! It's probably my fault.
