QListView SelectionModel selectionChanged Crash

In PySide I have the following MainWindow definition:

Code:

---

class MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
 
        self.view  = QtGui.QListView(self)
        self.model = QtGui.QStandardItemModel()
        for i in range(10):
            self.model.setItem(i, QtGui.QStandardItem("Item {0}".format(i)))
 
        self.view.setModel(self.model)
        self.view.selectionModel().selectionChanged.connect(self._selectionChanged)
 
        self.setCentralWidget(self.view)
 
    def _selectionChanged(self,selected, deselected):
        pass

---

When I try and connect the selectionChanged signal I crash python. It's the same as this SO post and the workaround suggestion of keeping the selection model around seems to work.

Code:

---

self.viewselectionModel = self.view.selectionModel()
self.viewselectionModel.selectionChanged.connect(self._selectionChanged)

---

But is this safe? And is this an official bug in PySide? I could not find anything in the bug report database.
