After launching a python app, python gets stuck on 100% CPU usage

[Tommaso Fonda]

qpaeq is an equalizer for pulseaudio written in python. I've installed it and loaded all the required modules, but on Ubuntu 14.10 launching "qpaeq" from terminal does nothing; after launching it "top" shows that python's CPU usage is very high, with a percentage between 97 and 112. The only way to stop python from running is "sudo killall python".
qpaeq used to work fine on Saucy and Trusty.
I think that this would happen with any python program, but I'm not sure.

By mistake I reported this bug as a gnome-shell bug. Now I've corrected the description.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

the information is not good enough to assign the issue to python2.7.

Tommaso,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can this bug report now be closed?

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
