I see no difference between PyQt4 and PyQt5. Both crashed because self.sender()
is a QAction in on_deleteTasks_triggered(), which is correct.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "test.py", line 39, in on_deleteTasks_triggered
        reply.abort()
    AttributeError: 'QAction' object has no attribute 'abort'

What happens if slotFinished() is decorated as @pyqtSlot() ?
