QLabel not displaying in QWidget window - python

The problem is my text label is missing from this window. I made it so big in case the label did not have enough space to fully display but in that case I think it would have displayed what it had space for. Hopefully someone knows why.
Edit: I have included the entire init function of Ui_Form. All my problems are caused in this bit the rest working ok.

The window you are viewing is not pleaseWait window but the mainWidget window.
The above is explained assuming that:
The file that is read is small, so the pleaseWait window will open and close instantly, so that being that synchronous action Qt will not have time to do it and for the user the window will never have been shown. For this case the solution is to give a reasonable time for the user to see the window.
The file is very large, the reading will take a long time blocking the eventloop, which will cause tasks such as displaying a window to not be performed, to avoid blocking the task must be executed in another thread.
Combining both solutions we obtain the following code:

self.VLayout.addWidget(self.message)
self.show()
def closeWindow(self):
self.close()
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
w = waitWindow()
w.exec_()

Okay took your code and gutted all the unessential stuff to analyze the actual issue I have included the gutted version so you can see what is necessary in the future to see what is wrong.
In short the issue is that you need to add the following line as the last line in your waitWindow function >> self.exec() by adding that I got your label to display (see code below)
Now with that said you do have another issue and that is the QDialog box will not allow the program to continue until it has been closed (aka it stops the process flow until you release it by closing the window or use a different means). My question is why not use your "main window" to display that message then repopulate with the rest of that data. Also curious why are you not using QMainWindow?

Weird Bug with creating multiple image labels, Image Gallery Browser

So I'm creating an image gallery browser in PYQT5.
I can choose a directory and load the image file icons in a scrollable widget like so:
If there is less than 20 or so images in the directory, it works fine. However when there's more than that the image labels for some reason don't show:
If I take a few of those images that aren't showing and put them into a new folder on their own, then try to load only those images, it works, only if the application hasn't already tried to load them before hand and failed, otherwise, the empty square happens again.
So this seems to me to be some sort of framework/memory limitation? Can anyone shed some light on this?
Here is my code:

If you want to show a lot of QPixmap then it is not optimal to use a lot of QLabel, in that case it is better to use a QListView (or QListWidget) since it handles memory better.
In your code you add and remove QLabels but in the case of the model only items are added or removed and the view is repainted avoiding the excessive use of memory.
Considering the above I have implemented the following solution:

Pyqt5 QCoreApplication::exec: The event loop is already running

I have a mainwindow which has a button which opens a second window when clicked. This second window contains a mayavi plot. Every time I click this button an error is shown
QCoreApplication::exec: The event loop is already running
I have looked at multiple similar questions on SO, but I cannot fix my problem.

changing the class MayaviWindow to inherit from QWidget instead of QMainwindow did not solve the problem

PyQt5 retrieving frames before/after current frame

I'm new to PyQt and I'm trying to create a videoplayer. When the user screenshots a certain frame, I should be able to retrieve 5 frames prior to the current frame and another 5 frames after the current frame.

I'm thinking of retrieving the current frame number and creating loops to retrieve the before and after frames and then send them to process_frame for saving, but I'm not sure how to implement that because as of now, I'm still having a hard time grasping the principles behind the video frame grabber.
You have a few options.
First is to seek the video to the frames you need using QMediaPlayer.setPosition, then use the grabber you have already implemented to grab the current frame. Then you'd restore the position.
In reality, this is difficult to implement, since you need to know precise frame times, which is something that PyQT doesn't offer as part of their API.
To obtain frame times, you could use FFMS2 library and its Python bindings:
import ffms
source_file = "test/x264.mkv"
vsource = ffms.VideoSource(source_file)
print("Frames:", vsource.properties.NumFrames)
print("Times:", vsource.track.timecodes)
This is where the other solution kicks in. If you use FFMS2 anyway, why even use the media player to obtain the frames? You can just use FFMS2 directly:
>>> frame = vsource.get_frame(0)
>>> frame.EncodedWidth, frame.EncodedHeight
(128, 72)
>>> frame.planes[0]
array([16, 16, 16, ..., 16, 16, 16], dtype=uint8)
You input the frame number and receive a numpy array that you can convert into an actual image with library such as PIL or scikit-image. So you only need to convert current stream position to the frame number. To do it, you can query the vsource.track.timecodes variable and find the index of the closest frame number. To do it fast, you can use divide-and-conquer technique (the builtin Python bisect module).
Note that you should load the ffms.VideoSource once, when you select the video, since it may take a bit of time to index the time and frame information and you don't want the UI to lag when the user chooses to do a screenshot. To further speed up things, you could also cache the indexing information, if you need to reopen the file often. Manual indexing is covered in FFMS2 documentation.

QLineEdit outputs an empty string?

UPDATE I made a function to get the text from QLineEdit in the logingui file, and it works. I have no idea why the same function wouldn't work if imported from a different file.
I am trying to get text from QLineEdit on a button click, I have 2 files, logingui and loginlogic. Both the files import each other. Here's the logingui's code
import sys
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
import login.loginlogic
class LoginForm(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
QWidget.__init__(self, parent=None)
object = login.loginlogic
formLayout = QFormLayout()
# vboxlayout = QVBoxLayout()
serifFont = QFont("Arial", 10)
unamelbl = QLabel("Username")
unamelbl.setFont(serifFont)
pwdlbl = QLabel("Password")
pwdlbl.setFont(serifFont)
self.unamele = QLineEdit()
self.pwdle = QLineEdit()
self.unamele.setPlaceholderText("Username")
self.pwdle.setPlaceholderText("Password")
self.loginButton = QPushButton("Login")
self.loginButton.setStyleSheet("background-color: #99ff99; font-size: 15px;")
self.loginButton.setFont(serifFont)
self.loginButton.clicked.connect(object.handleLogin)
formLayout.addRow(unamelbl)
formLayout.addRow(self.unamele)
formLayout.addRow(pwdlbl)
formLayout.addRow(self.pwdle)
formLayout.addRow(self.loginButton)
formLayout.setSpacing(20)
self.setLayout(formLayout)
self.setStyleSheet("background-color: rgb(255,255,255)")
self.setMinimumSize(420, 320)
self.setMaximumSize(420, 320)
self.setContentsMargins(60, 50, 60, 50)
self.setWindowIcon(QIcon("favicon.ico"))
self.show()
def handlelogin(self):
u = self.unamele.text()
print(u)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
form = LoginForm()
app.exec_()
here's the code from loginlogic
import login.logingui
class handleLogin():
def __init__(self):
self.obj = login.logingui.LoginForm()
self.username = self.obj.unamele.text()
print("the code did reach here my man ")
print(self.username)
if __name__ == '__main__':
a = handleLogin()
now the output that I get is
your code reached here
*blank line*
I know that's a blank line cause when I click the button again it just leaves an empty line and the reached here text again. Also when I run the logingui, I do write some text in it. Not leaving it blank.

How to get the cell position of QCombobox which is a QTableWidgetItem

So the below code is part of a bigger project but in general, I have a QTableWidget which is populated from a database. One of the items is a combobox which when the user selects a milestone option from the combobox I want to be able to know which row and column the combo box that was select is in so I can then apply a fixed rate to the value of a cell in the same row. All I need help on is how to track which cell (row, column) the combo box that was selected is in.
Please note im using other tabs that are not shown and is why my code is setup the way it is. I found some other help but am not a very experience python programmer so I got stuck.

A possible solution is to use indexAt() since the position of the QComboBox is relative to the viewport(), but to obtain the QComboBox that was selected we use sender().
for n,item in enumerate(wbs_details):
qitem = QtGui.QTableWidgetItem(item[0])
self.projectlist.setItem(n, 0, qitem)
qitem = QtGui.QTableWidgetItem(item[1])
self.projectlist.setItem(n, 1, qitem)
milestone_options = ["Award","Mobilization","Survey"]
milestonecombo = QtGui.QComboBox()
milestonecombo.addItems(milestone_options)
milestonecombo.setFixedWidth(150)
milestonecombo.currentIndexChanged[str].connect(self.onCurrentIndexChanged)
self.projectlist.setCellWidget(n, 2, milestonecombo)
def onCurrentIndexChanged(self, text):
combobox = self.sender()
ix = self.projectlist.indexAt(combobox.pos())
print(ix.row(), ix.column(), text)
Another possible solution is to use the property:
for n,item in enumerate(wbs_details):
qitem = QtGui.QTableWidgetItem(item[0])
self.projectlist.setItem(n, 0, qitem)
qitem = QtGui.QTableWidgetItem(item[1])
self.projectlist.setItem(n, 1, qitem)
milestone_options = ["Award","Mobilization","Survey"]
milestonecombo = QtGui.QComboBox()
milestonecombo.addItems(milestone_options)
milestonecombo.setFixedWidth(150)
milestonecombo.setProperty("row", n)
milestonecombo.setProperty("column", 1)
milestonecombo.currentIndexChanged[str].connect(self.onCurrentIndexChanged)
self.projectlist.setCellWidget(n, 2, milestonecombo)
def onCurrentIndexChanged(self, text):
combobox = self.sender()
r = combobox.property("row").toPyObject()
c = combobox.property("column").toPyObject()
print(r, c, text)
