I have a GRC file that brings up a QT spectrum. I run grcc to create  
top\_block.py and then run python on the top\_block.py. When I click the  
close icon in the upper right corner of the spectrum window, the window  
goes away but the python is still running. Do you know why that might  
happen?

Mark.

Nope. It’d be easier to help out if we knew what your flowgraph was  
doing  
and what blocks are in it.
