I guess I provided inadequate subtext for that example. It's documentation in a project I work on, explaining that qObject.signal.connect(lambda: anotherQObject.function(arg)) is unsafe in PyQt if anotherQObject might be destroyed before qObject. The same would happen in C++ with QObject::connect(qObject, &MyClass::signal, [&]() { anotherQObject->function(arg); });

In C++, one possible solution is to use QObject::Connect(sender, signal, context object, functor). To the best of my knowledge In PyQt5, and I suspect in PySide2/Qt for Python, there is no equivalent. You can write one by taking the connection object returned by object.signal.connect() and using it in a slot connected to anotherQObject.destroyed.
