I am trying to record and use data with a Qdial.
For the recording every thing seems to be fine, but in order to use this data in while loop I have to reload the while loop. When I do so with signal and a subprocess, the loop seems to use every data recorded, another problem is that the loop don’t stop at the end of the process.
I have no doubt I am using the wrong method.
Sorry for my bad English, and thank you very much for your help.
So I am using 3 scripts: Qdial.py, Data.py, Loop.py.
The Data.py is an accumulation of data, here I use just one:
A1 = 10
The Loop.py is in deed my main script, here I resume:
import time
from Data import *
def loop():
while True:
print('A1 = ', A1)
time.sleep(0.1)
loop()
[edit] Instead of this Loop.py I will not use from Data import *,
but this one witch don't raise errors (but there is always the problem of the continuous looping after the exit on Qdial.py):
import time
def loop():
with open('/address/Data.py', 'r') as file:
lines = file.readlines()
A1 = lines[0]
A1 = float(A1[4:-1])
print('A1 = ', A1)
while True:
loop()
time.sleep(0.09)
[/edit]
The Qdial.py is a common one, with the signal and a subprocess that raise false values:
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from Data import *
import sys, signal, subprocess, time
[edit] This line is no longer needed, and cause an endless loop.
I launch Loop.py with a subprocess:
proc = subprocess.Popen(['python3', '/address/Loop.py'])
[/edit]
Then it’s the writing for the Qdial:
class Window(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setGeometry(300, 300, 150, 150)
vbox = QVBoxLayout()
self.a1 = QDial(self)
self.value = int(A1)
self.a1.setValue(self.value)
self.value = self.a1.value()
self.lab1 = QtWidgets.QLabel(self)
self.lab1.setText('A1 = ' + str(A1) + 's')
self.a1.valueChanged.connect(self.dial)
vbox.addWidget(self.a1)
vbox.addWidget(self.lab1)
self.setLayout(vbox)
self.show()
def dial(self):
val1 = self.a1.value()
self.lab1.setText('A1 = ' + str(val1) + 's')
with open('/address/data.py', 'r') as file:
lines = file.readlines()
lines[0] = 'A1 = ' + str(val1) + '\n'
with open('/address/data.py', 'w') as file:
for line in lines:
file.write(line)
file.close()
[edit] Thoses lines are no longer define or needed.
Here I use signal and subprocess in order to reload the data in Loop.py:
proc.send_signal(signal.SIGINT)
subprocess.Popen(['python3', '/address/Loop.py'])
[/edit]
And I finish:
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
[edit] A solution to escape the endless loop was to run both scripts (Qdial.py & Loop.py) as subprocess from a main script and use Popen.wait(), Main.py:
import subprocess, signal
Qd = subprocess.Popen(['python3', '/address/Qdial.py'])
Lo = subprocess.Popen(['python3', '/address/Loop.py'])
if Qd.wait() != None:
Lo.send_signal(signal.SIGINT)
[/edit]
Of course I don’t understand what is wrong, sorry for the length of this post...Thanks again.
I am currently working on a project of simple spectrum analyzer that cooperates with PlutoSDR, which is programmable radio.
I created a simple GUI with QTDesigner, then pyuic'ed it into python code (my version is 3.8)

Now, I have two independent problems.
First
When I press "Stop" on the GUI, which sets analyzer_thread stop value to 'true', this works correctly (i. e. run function from analyzer_thread stops executing), though the update function is still running - the plot keeps refreshing but with the same values. Yet when I hit "start", the analyzer_thread doesn't start over. I have no idea what causes that.
Second
When I try to change stop frequency value, which should call analyzer_thread.setStopFreq I get this message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main_window_ui.py", line 77, in setStopFreq
self.stop_freq = int(win.lineEdit.text)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'lineEdit'
which I think is my mistake while connecting GUI objects to functions, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it. It seems there's a problem with function's arguments, yet when I call tomatoes function from main, it works despite having the same argument (analyzer_thread).
I know that my code is messy and sorry for that. The processing part was done by another person, my role is to make it work with GUI. I am attaching the main window view:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/vUZjj.png
I'll be thankful for any help :)
Your code wont resume running, because when you set self.stop to True once, whole ,,run'' loop terminates and self.run function ends its job, terminating thread. You should rather try something like:
while True:
if not self.stop:
#do your code
else:
time.sleep(0.001) #
And add other possibility to terminate thread completly.
Your functions should rather be named suspend/resume, not stop and start.
I am trying to make a print button for a GUI I am making. Right now when I click the print button it will store all the data to one cell for each variable I am trying to print. Right now I am trying to print the time, rpms, torque, and horsepower. It will give me each of those in their own separate cell, but it will not start a new row. With in this cell the format is: [1,2,3,4,5,...]. The brackets are in the cells as well. I would like for them to be separated into rows that way the user of the GUI can take the data for post processing. What I have mostly found on this matter is people are trying to get words into different cells and I know that characters act differently than numbers, pr that people want the values to be in a single cell, not the opposite like in my case.
What I have right now is that the print button will print a file with a unique time stamp. That way the users can keep this data for safe keeping.
Thank You in advance!

Since your data is in lists, you need to form rows of each instance of data items. One way is to transpose the lists with zip:
>>> hp = [1,2,3]
>>> rpm = [4,5,6]
>>> time = [7,8,9]
>>> for row in zip(hp,rpm,time):
... print(row)
...
(1, 4, 7)
(2, 5, 8)
(3, 6, 9)
Note how the first item in each list is printed, then the second, etc. You can use this to get your data into rows. Here's a standalone example:
import csv
class Test:
def __init__(self):
self.torque = [10,20,30]
self.horse_power = [100,200,300]
self.rpm = [1000,2000,3000]
self.time = [1,2,3]
def print(self):
with open('test.csv','w',newline='') as outfile:
outfileWrite = csv.writer(outfile)
outfileWrite.writerow('Torque HP RPM Time'.split())
outfileWrite.writerows(zip(self.torque,self.horse_power,self.rpm,self.time))
t = Test()
t.print()
Note writerows (plural). That expects a list of lists. writerow (singular) expects a single list and is used for a header. Output file is:
Torque,HP,RPM,Time
10,100,1000,1
20,200,2000,2
30,300,3000,3
First, calling a definition print in python is not recommended at all. Unless you do want to over-ride python 'print'. 'print_to_csv' for example.
As for the csv, you need to group your data into lists of [torque, horsepower, rpm, time] so your it will look like something like this,
data_lists = [
[torque(0), horsepower(0), rpm(0), time(0)],
[torque(1), horsepower(1), rpm(1), time(1)],
...
[torque(n), horsepower(n), rpm(n), time(n)]
]
then you will loop through this data list and print your rows one by one like so,
for d in data_datalist:
outfileWrite.writerow([d[0],d[1],d[2],d[3])
of course, many ways to structure your data, thats just an example.
Hope this helps.
I was working on a small downloader for Youtube videos using trollius (for async), htmlpy and pafy (and youtube-dl). Now i have a problem where once i click the download button, the UI freezes up while the backend is downloading the video.
I have tried to make the downloader class its own thread and run that alongside the UI but that doesn't seem to work. I also tried to uses coroutine to have the video download asynchronously while the UI continues. Neither seemed to work.
Here is some code
class Downloader(htmlPy.Object,threading.Thread):
dd = os.path.join(os.getenv('USERPROFILE'), 'Downloads') # dd = download director
dd = dd + "/vindownload/"
def __init__(self, app):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
super(Downloader, self).__init__()
# Initialize the class here, if required.
self.app = app
return
#htmlPy.Slot(str)
def download_single(self, json_data):
form_data = json.loads(json_data)
print json_data
url = form_data["name"]
dt = form_data["dt"] # Download type is audio or video
if url.__contains__("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v="):
if dt == 'audio':
print "hello1"
loop = trollius.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(self._downloadVid(url, vid=False))
loop.stop()
else:
print "hello1"
loop = trollius.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(self._downloadVid(url, vid=True))
loop.stop()
self.app.evaluate_javascript("document.getElementById('form').reset()")
else:
print "Incorrect url"
print form_data
#trollius.coroutine
def _downloadVid(self, url, vid=False, order_reverse=False, vinName=None):
print "hello123"
video = pafy.new(url)
print video
name = u''.join(video.title).encode('utf8')
name = re.sub("[<>:\"/\\|?*]", "", name)
if not vid:
file = video.getbestaudio()
else:
file = video.getbest()
if (order_reverse):
file.download(self.dd + vinName + name + ".mp4", quiet=False,callback=self.mycb)
else:
file.download(self.dd + name + ".mp4", quiet=False,callback=self.mycb)
def mycb(self,total, recvd, ratio, rate, eta):
print(recvd, ratio, eta)
and my initialize.py
BASE_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname("initilize.py"))
app = htmlPy.AppGUI(title=u"Vin download", width=700, height=400, resizable=False)
app.static_path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")
app.template_path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "templates/")
app.web_app.setMaximumWidth(830)
app.web_app.setMaximumHeight(600)
download = Downloader(app)
download.start()
# Register back-end functionalities
app.bind(download)
app.template = ("./index.html", {"template_variable_name": "value"})
# Instructions for running application
if __name__ == "__main__":
# The driver file will have to be imported everywhere in back-end.
# So, always keep app.start() in if __name__ == "__main__" conditional
app.start()
Now my question is. Is there a way where i can free up my UI while downloading so it doesn't look like the application crashed.
I am using: Python 2.7, Trollius, Pafy, Youtube-dl, HTMLPY.
Thank you for your time.
Alright i found the answer to my question, here is what i did. i changed my download_single method to the following:
#htmlPy.Slot(str)
def download_single(self, json_data):
form_data = json.loads(json_data)
print json_data
url = form_data["name"]
dt = form_data["dt"] # Download type is audio or video
videoDown = videoDownload(url, dt, self.app, self.dd)
videoDown.start()
print form_data
And the code i had in it earlier is now transferred to a new class called videoDownload taking all those attributes stated above.
videoDownload.py
class videoDownload(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, url, dt, app, dd):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.url = url
self.dt = dt
self.app = app
self.dd = dd
def run(self):
threads.append(self)
if self.url.__contains__("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v="):
if self.dt == 'audio':
print "hello1"
self._downloadVid(self.url, vid=False)
else:
print "hello1"
self._downloadVid(self.url, vid=True)
else:
print "Incorrect url"
def _downloadVid(self, url, vid=False, order_reverse=False, vinName=None):
print "hello123"
video = pafy.new(url)
print video
name = u''.join(video.title).encode('utf8')
name = re.sub("[<>:\"/\\|?*]", "", name)
if not vid:
file = video.getbestaudio()
else:
file = video.getbest()
if (order_reverse):
file.download(self.dd + vinName + name + ".mp4", quiet=False, callback=self.mycb)
else:
file.download(self.dd + name + ".mp4", quiet=False, callback=self.mycb)
threads.remove(self)
def mycb(self, total, recvd, ratio, rate, eta):
pass
This solved the issues i had with ui being blocked. The thread will end itself once leaving the run method and it will be removed from a threads array that is defined above the class.

Im writing a PyQt app that takes some input in one widget, and then processes some text files.
What ive got at the moment is when the user clicks the "process" button a seperate window with a QTextEdit in it pops up, and ouputs some logging messages.
On Mac OS X this window is refreshed automatically and you cna see the process.
On Windows, the window reports (Not Responding) and then once all the proccessing is done, the log output is shown. Im assuming I need to refresh the window after each write into the log, and ive had a look around at using a timer. etc, but havnt had much luck in getting it working.
Below is the source code. It has two files, GUI.py which does all the GUI stuff and MOVtoMXF that does all the processing.

If any other code is needed (i think this is all that is needed) then just let me know.
Any Help would be great.

It looks like your are running an external program, capturing its output into a QTextEdit. I didn't see the code of Form.process, but I am guessing on windows your function waits for the external program to finish, then quickly dumps everything to the QTextEdit.
If your interface really is waiting for the other process to finish, then it will hang in the manner you describe. You'll need to look at subprocess or perhaps even popen to get the program's output in a "non-blocking" manner.
The key to avoiding "(Not Responding)" is to call QApplication.processEvents a few times every few seconds. The QTimer is not going to help in this case, because if Qt cannot process its events, it cannot call any signal handlers.
