i'm programming an application in python using twisted and PyQt . the problem that i'm facing is that when a function in my twisted code is executed i have to print a line in the GUI, i'm trying to achieve this by emiting a signal (Non PyQt class). This does not seem to work, i have a doubt that the twisted event loop is screwing things for PyQt. Because the closeEvent signal is not being trapped by the program.
Here's the code snippet:
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
import sys
from twisted.internet.protocol import Factory, Protocol
from twisted.protocols import amp
import qt4reactor
class register_procedure(amp.Command):
arguments = [('MAC',amp.String()),
('IP',amp.String()),
('Computer_Name',amp.String()),
('OS',amp.String())
]
response = [('req_status', amp.String()),
('ALIGN_FUNCTION', amp.String()),
('ALIGN_Confirmation', amp.Integer()),
('Callback_offset',amp.Integer())
]
class Ui_MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self,reactor, parent=None):
super(Ui_MainWindow,self).__init__(parent)
self.reactor=reactor
self.pf = Factory()
self.pf.protocol = Protocol
self.reactor.listenTCP(3610, self.pf) # listen on port 1234

MainWindow.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("MainWindow"))

self.centralwidget = QtGui.QWidget(MainWindow)
sizePolicy = QtGui.QSizePolicy(QtGui.QSizePolicy.Expanding, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Expanding)
sizePolicy.setHorizontalStretch(0)
sizePolicy.setVerticalStretch(0)
sizePolicy.setHeightForWidth(self.centralwidget.sizePolicy().hasHeightForWidth())
self.centralwidget.setSizePolicy(sizePolicy)
self.create_item()
self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
self.connect(self, QtCore.SIGNAL('triggered()'), self.closeEvent)
QtCore.QObject.connect(self,QtCore.SIGNAL('registered()'),self.registered)
QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)
def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow", None))
self.pushButton_4.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "Delete System ", None))
self.pushButton.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "Add System", None))

try:
import qt4reactor
except ImportError:
from twisted.internet import qt4reactor

reactor.run()
This is what I use in my one code for sending signals from QGraphicsItems (because they are not derived from QObject and cannot send/receive signals by default). It's basically a simplified version of Radio-'s answer.
from PyQt4 import QtGui as QG
from PyQt4 import QtCore as QC
class SenderObject(QC.QObject):
something_happened = QC.pyqtSignal()
SenderObject is a tiny class derived from QObject where you can put all the signals you need to emit. In this case only one is defined.
class SnapROIItem(QG.QGraphicsRectItem):
def __init__(self, parent = None):
super(SnapROIItem, self).__init__(parent)
self.sender = SenderObject()
def do_something_and_emit(self):
...
self.sender.something_happened.emit()
In the non-QObject class you add a SenderObject as a sender variable. Anywhere where the non-QObject class is used you can connect the signal from the sender to anything you need.
class ROIManager(QC.QObject):
def add_snaproi(self, snaproi):
snaproi.sender.something_happened.connect(...)
UPDATE
The full code is this and should print out "Something happened...":
from PyQt4 import QtGui as QG
from PyQt4 import QtCore as QC
class SenderObject(QC.QObject):
something_happened = QC.pyqtSignal()
class SnapROIItem(QG.QGraphicsItem):
def __init__(self, parent = None):
super(SnapROIItem, self).__init__(parent)
self.sender = SenderObject()
def do_something_and_emit(self):
self.sender.something_happened.emit()
class ROIManager(QC.QObject):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(ROIManager,self).__init__(parent)
def add_snaproi(self, snaproi):
snaproi.sender.something_happened.connect(self.new_roi)
def new_roi(self):
print 'Something happened in ROI!'
if __name__=="__main__":)
roimanager = ROIManager()
snaproi = SnapROIItem()
roimanager.add_snaproi(snaproi)
snaproi.do_something_and_emit()
UPDATE 2
Instead of
QtCore.QObject.connect(self,QtCore.SIGNAL('registered()'),self.registered)
you should have:
protocol.sender.registered.connect(self.registered)
This means you also need to get hold of the protocol instance in self.pf (by the way, do you import Protocol and then define it yourself as well?)
In the Protocol class instead of
QtCore.QObject.emit( QtCore.SIGNAL('registered')
you need to, first, instantiate a SenderObject in the Protocol.
class Protocol(amp.AMP):
def __init__( self, *args, **kw ):
super(Protocol, self).__init__(*args, **kw)
self.sender = SenderObject()
and then, in register_procedure emit the signal through sender:
self.sender.registered.emit()
For all of this to work you'll have to have defined SenderObject as:
class SenderObject(QC.QObject):
registered = QC.pyqtSignal()
This is an old post, but it helped me. Here is my version. One item that is not a QObject signaling two other non QObject's to run their methods.
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class Signal(object):
class Emitter(QtCore.QObject):
registered = QtCore.pyqtSignal()
def __init__(self):
super(Signal.Emitter, self).__init__()
def __init__(self):
self.emitter = Signal.Emitter()
def register(self):
self.emitter.registered.emit()
def connect(self, signal, slot):
signal.emitter.registered.connect(slot)
class item(object):
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
self.signal = Signal()
def something(self):
print self.name, ' says something'
>>> itemA = item('a')
>>> itemB = item('b')
>>> itemC = item('c')
>>> itemA.signal.connect(itemA.signal, itemB.something)
>>> itemA.signal.connect(itemA.signal, itemC.something)
>>> itemA.signal.register()
b says something
c says something
The two basic problems are that:
1) Something has to know the sender and receiver of the signals
Consider a more frequent case in Qt where you may have multiple buttons, each with a 'clicked' signal. Slots need to know which button was clicked, so catching a generic signal does not make much sense.
and 2) The signals have to originate from a QObject.
Having said that, I'm not sure what the canonical implementation is. Here is one way to do it, using the idea of a Bridge that you had in one of your earlier posts, and a special Emitter class inside of Protocol. Running this code will simply print 'Working it' when protocol.register() is called.
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
import sys
class Ui_MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(Ui_MainWindow, self).__init__()
def work(self):
print "Working it"
class Protocol(object):
class Emitter(QtCore.QObject):
registered = QtCore.pyqtSignal()
def __init__(self):
super(Protocol.Emitter, self).__init__()
def __init__(self):
self.emitter = Protocol.Emitter()
def register(self):
self.emitter.registered.emit()
class Bridge(QtCore.QObject):
def __init__(self, gui, protocol):
super(Bridge, self).__init__()
self.gui = gui
self.protocol = protocol
def bridge(self):
self.protocol.emitter.registered.connect(self.gui.work)
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
gui = Ui_MainWindow()
protocol = Protocol()
bridge = Bridge(gui, protocol)
bridge.bridge()
#protocol.register() #uncomment to see 'Working it' printed to the console
I improved the solution of #Ryan Trowbridge a bit to deal with a generic type. I hoped to use Generic[T] but turned out too complicated.
class GenSignal:
def __init__(self,typ):
Emitter = type('Emitter', (QtCore.QObject,), {'signal': Signal(typ)})
self.emitter = Emitter()
def emit(self,*args,**kw):
self.emitter.signal.emit(*args,**kw)
def connect(self, slot):
self.emitter.signal.connect(slot)
To use, x=GenSignal(int) and continue as usual.

I want to access progress bar's (which is in the Ui_MainWindow() class) setMaximum() from another class/thread (DownloadThread() class).
I tried making DownloadThread() class inherit from Ui_MainWindow:
DownloadThread(Ui_MainWindow). But when I try to set the maximum progress bar value:
Ui_MainWindow.progressBar.setMaximum(100)
I get this error:
AttributeError: type object 'Ui_MainWindow' has no attribute 'progressBar'
My code:
class Ui_MainWindow(object):
def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
# ...
self.updateButton = QtGui.QPushButton(self.centralwidget)
self.progressBar = QtGui.QProgressBar(self.centralwidget)
self.updateStatusText = QtGui.QLabel(self.centralwidget)
# ...
self.updateButton.clicked.connect(self.download_file)
# ...
def download_file(self):
self.thread = DownloadThread()
self.thread.data_downloaded.connect(self.on_data_ready)
self.thread.start()
def on_data_ready(self, data):
self.updateStatusText.setText(str(data))
class DownloadThread(QtCore.QThread, Ui_MainWindow):
data_downloaded = QtCore.pyqtSignal(object)
def run(self):
self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Connecting...')
ftp = FTP('example.com')
ftp.login(user='user', passwd='pass')
ftp.cwd('/some_directory/')
filename = '100MB.bin'
totalsize = ftp.size(filename)
print(totalsize)
# SET THE MAXIMUM VALUE OF THE PROGRESS BAR
Ui_MainWindow.progressBar.setMaximum(totalsize)
self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Downloading...')
global localfile
with open(filename, 'wb') as localfile:
ftp.retrbinary('RETR ' + filename, self.file_write)
ftp.quit()
localfile.close()
self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Updated!')
def file_write(self, data):
global localfile
localfile.write(data)
print(len(data))
The immediate problem is that Ui_MainWindow is a class, not an instance of the class. You would have to pass your "window" self to the DownloadThread. But that's not the right solution anyway. You cannot access PyQt widgets from another thread. Instead, use the same technique as you already do, to update the status text (FTP download with text label showing the current status of the download).
class Ui_MainWindow(object):
def download_file(self):
self.thread = DownloadThread()
self.thread.data_downloaded.connect(self.on_data_ready)
self.thread.data_progress.connect(self.on_progress_ready)
self.progress_initialized = False
self.thread.start()
def on_progress_ready(self, data):
# The first signal sets the maximum, the other signals increase a progress
if self.progress_initialized:
self.progressBar.setValue(self.progressBar.value() + int(data))
else:
self.progressBar.setMaximum(int(data))
self.progress_initialized = True
class DownloadThread(QtCore.QThread):
data_downloaded = QtCore.pyqtSignal(object)
data_progress = QtCore.pyqtSignal(object)
def run(self):
self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Connecting...')
with FTP('example.com') as ftp:
ftp.login(user='user', passwd='pass')
ftp.cwd('/some_directory/')
filename = '100MB.bin'
totalsize = ftp.size(filename)
print(totalsize)
# The first signal sets the maximum
self.data_progress.emit(str(totalsize))
self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Downloading...')
with open(filename, 'wb') as self.localfile:
ftp.retrbinary('RETR ' + filename, self.file_write)
self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Updated!')
def file_write(self, data):
self.localfile.write(data)
# The other signals increase a progress
self.data_progress.emit(str(len(data)))
Other changes to your code:
global localfile is a bad practice. Use self.localfile instead.
There's no need for localfile.close(), with takes care of that.
Similarly ftp.quit() should be replaced with with.
There's no need for DownloadThread to inherit from Ui_MainWindow.
the thread class:
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets, QtPrintSupport,QtWebEngineWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QDialog,QWidget,QApplication, QInputDialog, QLineEdit, QFileDialog,QProgressDialog, QMainWindow, QFrame,QSplashScreen
from PyQt5.QtCore import QThread , pyqtSignal,Qt
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon,QPainter,QPixmap
class threaded_class(QThread):
signal_to_send_at_progress_bar = pyqtSignal()
def __init__(self,parent=None):
QThread.__init__(self, parent=parent)
def run(self):
while self.isRunning:
##do the stuf you want here and when you want to change the progress bar
self.signal_to_send_at_progress_bar.emit()
in your main window:
class mainProgram(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow): #main window
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(mainProgram, self).__init__(parent)
self.setupUi(self)
###...........#####
self.thread_class_in_main_window = threaded_class()
self.thread_class_in_main_window .start()
self.thread_db.signal_to_send_at_progress_bar.connect(progressBar.setMaximum(100))
You can also emit string and number with signals.
I am trying to emit custom events in PyQt. One widget would emit and another would listen to events, but the two widgets would not need to be related.
In JavaScript, I would achieve this by doing
// Component 1
document.addEventListener('Hello', () => console.log('Got it'))
// Component 2
document.dispatchEvent(new Event("Hello"))
Edit: I know about signals and slots, but only know how to use them between parent and child. How would I this mechanism (or other mechanism) between arbitrary unrelated widgets?
In PyQt the following instruction:
document.addEventListener('Hello', () => console.log('Got it'))
is equivalent
document.hello_signal.connect(lambda: print('Got it'))
In a similar way:
document.dispatchEvent(new Event("Hello"))
is equivalent
document.hello_signal.emit()
But the big difference is the scope of the "document" object, since the connection is between a global element. But in PyQt that element does not exist.
One way to emulate the behavior that you point out is by creating a global object:
globalobject.py
from PyQt5 import QtCore
import functools
#functools.lru_cache()
class GlobalObject(QtCore.QObject):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self._events = {}
def addEventListener(self, name, func):
if name not in self._events:
self._events[name] = [func]
else:
self._events[name].append(func)
def dispatchEvent(self, name):
functions = self._events.get(name, [])
for func in functions:
QtCore.QTimer.singleShot(0, func)
main.py
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets
from globalobject import GlobalObject
class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super().__init__(parent)
button = QtWidgets.QPushButton(text="Press me", clicked=self.on_clicked)
self.setCentralWidget(button)
#QtCore.pyqtSlot()
def on_clicked(self):
GlobalObject().dispatchEvent("hello")
class Widget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super().__init__(parent)
GlobalObject().addEventListener("hello", self.foo)
self._label = QtWidgets.QLabel()
lay = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
lay.addWidget(self._label)
#QtCore.pyqtSlot()
def foo(self):
self._label.setText("foo")
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
w1 = MainWindow()
w2 = Widget()
w1.show()
w2.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
I am new to Python and Qt. Currently, I am trying to build the UI for a larger application, but I am running into problems regarding signals and slots.
Here is my code:
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtCore import QObject, pyqtSlot
import sys
class Ui_configDialog(QtWidgets.QDialog):
def __init__(self):
super(Ui_configDialog, self).__init__()
self.setupUi()
def setupUi(self):
self.setObjectName("configDialog")
self.setWindowModality(QtCore.Qt.WindowModal)
self.resize(425, 380)
row1 = DataRow(self)
self.show()
class DataRow:
def __init__(self, dialog):
rect = QtCore.QRect(10, 40, 91, 30)
self.text_fRep = QtWidgets.QSpinBox(dialog)
self.text_fRep.setGeometry(rect.translated(100, 0))
self.connect_signal()
#pyqtSlot(int)
def fRep_changed(self, value):
print(value)
def connect_signal(self):
self.text_fRep.valueChanged.connect(self.fRep_changed)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
dialog = Ui_configDialog()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
What I am trying to achieve is, that the slot fRep_changed is called whenever the value of the QSpinBox object is changed. But with this code I receive a compile error:
QObject::connect: Cannot connect QSpinBox::valueChanged(int) to (null)::fRep_changed(int)
TypeError: connect() failed between valueChanged(int) and fRep_changed()
I cannot see, why I shouldn't be able to connect the signal to the slot.
I also removed the #pyqtSlot(int). The application starts, but nothing happens when the value is changed.
Thank you for your help in advance!
Your code has 2 errors, the first one is that the slots are only implemented within the classes that inherit from QObject, so the easiest thing is for your class to inherit from QObject. The second you will see after making the previous change, it will happen that even if you change the value of QSpinBox will never be called to the slot, and this happens because the collector deletes the object of row1 of the DataRow class, the solution is simple, you just have to make row a member of the class through self, ie change row1 by self.row1
class Ui_configDialog(QtWidgets.QDialog):
def __init__(self):
super(Ui_configDialog, self).__init__()
self.setupUi()
def setupUi(self):
self.setObjectName("configDialog")
self.setWindowModality(QtCore.Qt.WindowModal)
self.resize(425, 380)
self.row1 = DataRow(self)
self.show()
class DataRow(QObject):
def __init__(self, dialog, parent=None):
QObject.__init__(self, parent)
rect = QtCore.QRect(10, 40, 91, 30)
self.text_fRep = QtWidgets.QSpinBox(dialog)
self.text_fRep.setGeometry(rect.translated(100, 0))
self.connect_signal()
#pyqtSlot(int)
def fRep_changed(self, value):
print(value)
def connect_signal(self):
self.text_fRep.valueChanged.connect(self.fRep_changed)
i'm writing an application in python using twisted and PyQt. What i'm trying to do is that when a client registers , it is reflected in the front end. So when the server registers the client it emit's an signal which will be trapped and a slot will be triggered but , it doesn't seem to work. Both of the signal slot in the code are not functioning.

here is how I connected two classes, I dont know is that the best way, but it works as I wanted:
class MyForm(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
....
self.connect(self, QtCore.SIGNAL("mySignal(PyQt_PyObject)"), self.doSomething)
....
def someMethod(self):
...
button = MyPushButton(i, self)
...
def doSomething(self):
...
class MyPushButton(QtGui.QPushButton):
def __init__(self, elementID, mForm):
super(MyPushButton, self).__init__()
self.__elementID = elementID
self.__mForm = mForm
self.connect(self, QtCore.SIGNAL('clicked()'), self, QtCore.SLOT("triggerOutput()"))
#QtCore.pyqtSlot()
def triggerOutput(self):
self.__mForm.emit(QtCore.SIGNAL("mySignal(PyQt_PyObject)"), self.__elementID)
so, important is last row, where I've emitted signal from MyPushButton class (self) to MyForm class (__mForm) , and doSomething() is called. But as you can see in this line: button = MyPushButton(i, self), I have passed self (MyForm) to MyPushButton.
I hope this will help you somehow.
I have this simplified code that doesn't work and I can't understand why... I expect MySlot.slt() to be called every time i press a key in my QTextEdit but it doesn't! Could you please have a look?
#!/usr/bin/env python2
import sys
from PySide import QtGui, QtCore
class MySlot(object):
def __init__(self, qte):
qte.textChanged.connect(self.soc)
def slt(self):
print("got signal")
class MainWid(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(MainWid, self).__init__(parent)
self.initgui()
def initgui(self):
lay = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
txt = QtGui.QTextEdit(self)
MySoc(txt)
lay.addWidget(txt)
self.setLayout(lay)
self.show()
def main():
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
wid = MainWid()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__=="__main__":
main()
Your MySoc object in initgui has local scope and is therefore destroyed at the end of initgui.
Assign the object to a variable:
...
self.soc = MySoc(txt);
...
and you will see the "got signal" output each time you press a key.
