My Code: (relevent parts)

Qt Code: 
  1. def update(self):
  2.             request = QNetworkRequest()
  3.             request.setUrl(QUrl("someurl"))
  4.             self.network_manager.finished.connect(self._update)
  5.             self.network_manager.get(request)
  6.  
  7.         def _update(self, reply): # update stage 2    
  8.             if not reply.error() == QNetworkReply.NoError:
  9.                 # request probably failed
  10.                 print(reply.error())
  11.                 print(reply.errorString())
  12.                 print("retrying")
  13.                 self.update()
  14.             else:
  15.                 reply.abort()
  16.                 #print(str(reply.readAll().data()))
  17.                 data = json.loads(str(reply.readAll().data())) # get data
  18.                 #work with the data (irrelevant)
  19.  
  20.         def sendBearer_req(self):
  21.  
  22.             request = QNetworkRequest()
  23.             request.setUrl(QUrl("someotherurl"))
  24.  
  25.             self.network_manager = QNetworkAccessManager()
  26.             self.network_manager.finished.connect(self._request_finished)        
  27.  
  28.             self.network_manager.post(request, self.urlencode_post({'some' : 'thing'}))
  29.  
  30.         def sendBearer(self, reply):
  31.             reply.abort()
  32.             ans = reply.readAll()        
  33.             print(ans)
  34.             time.sleep(5)
  35.             print(ans)
  36.  
  37.             try:
  38.                 self.bearer = json.loads(str(ans))                
  39.                 self.update()            
  40.             except:
  41.                 raise #for debugging
  42.                 self.sendBearer_req() #retry        
  43.  
  44.         def _request_finished(self, reply):
  45.             if not reply.error() == QNetworkReply.NoError:
  46.                 # request probably failed
  47.                 print(reply.error())
  48.                 print(reply.errorString())
  49.                 print("retrying")
  50.                 self.sendBearer_req()
  51.             else:
  52.                 self.sendBearer(reply)

Problem:

in this part:

Qt Code: 
  1. reply.abort()
  2.     ans = reply.readAll()        
  3.     print(ans)
  4.     time.sleep(5)
  5.     print(ans)
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I'm pretty sure the `abort` isn't working because on the first `print` it prints just what i want but then, while it waits, apparently it continues with the code and enters the `update` function where it sends another request. Therefor in the second `print` the two replies mix together and it prints the both.

(btw I tried `close` as well - same result)

What am I doing wrong?
