I am writing a tool that allows me to track some tasks along a path of predifined stages, from something on a backlog, to ToDo, through WIP, Review and finally to done.
I created a custom widget, that will eventually be yellow, not unlike a postit note and perhaps with a bit of formatting it to give it a nice frame, etc... but stopped before getting far enough to make it look right because of this issue.
The idea is that each of these yellow Task widgets will have a stage they are at, and that I can select them in a Table Widget, and move them onto the next or previous stage, which will update taht objects stage, then refresh the TableWidget, read all the widget and where thay should be and set them in their new place.
So I have it kind of working to some degree (below), where I can move the tasks forward and they update location, but I noticed when I click the cells that the widget was previously in, print statement still says that the cell still has a widget there (which kind of makes sense, as code below isn't removing the previous one, but I'd expect to visually still see it). And I can move them forward and backwards, and the information on the tasks does update correctly, but the table won't refresh unless the task moves to a cell that never had a cellWidget in it. Test this by moving it backwards. It works, movnig forward visually does nothing, but moving again, does show up.
I tried clearing the TableWidget and rebuilding from scratch and that crashes. The main issue I am having is that with all these crashes, which is an issue in itself as it makes debugging very tough... When I try and clear the TableWidget (with .clear()) before repopulating, I get this.
Process finished with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005)
Same error code if I try removing the old cells by setting the Table Widget to 0 rows before adding the correct number of rows.
A known issue that is less important is when I select a cell without a widget and try and move it, gies me this, but don't worry too much about that fix, as it's known issue.
Process finished with exit code -1073740791 (0xC0000409)
Also tried cleaning up by iterating every cell and if it has a cell widget, remove cell widget before re-setting them to correct place and it still crashes. I'm out of ideas.

From my previous experience, I always found using setCellWidget clunky, underperforming and buggy.
Most of the times my Widgets were lost or misplaced, while refreshing the table similarly to the way you are doing it.
In addition, I guess you would want to use this "Task Mover" on a larger scale, and from what I could see, setting separate Widgets inside QWidgetItems becomes quite slow when done on loads of items.
My suggestion would be to use style delegates, so that you can customize the look of your items to your liking, without having to deal with the setCellWidget stuff which is giving you problem.
Once you have your own delegate, and paint the items the way you want, you can just keep updating that item data and moving the items around the table by using "take" and "set".
I am not sure if this would be the best way of executing this specific task, but moving towards this direction would probably give you greater flexibility and customisation power in the long run.

It is not necessary to clean and create everything again, instead just move the widget for it we must know if it can be moved or not and for that task_move must indicate if the movement is valid or not. Considering the above, the solution is:

The crashed is because when using clear you are also removing the Task widget so "self.tasks" has objects deleted from C++ that you should not use.

As with your previous question, you're still confusing classes and instancies. In your code you connect the signal to the class, while you have to connect it to the instance.
Since you have no reference with the receiver (the Checker instance) from the sender (the scene), you'll have to connect it from the former:
class Checkers(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def Initialization(self):
# ...
self.checkerScene.EndGameSignal.connect(self.handler_EndGameSignal)
I'm trying to implement a system in PyQt4 where unchecking a checkbox would call function disable_mod and checking it would call enable_mod. But even though state is changing the checkboxes call the initial function they started with. For this case if an already checked box was clicked it'd always keep calling the disable_mod function! I don't understand why is this happening? Can you guys help me out here a little bit? Here's my code:
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
from os import walk
from os.path import join
import sys
def list_files_regex(dir):
l = []
for (root, dirnames, filenames) in walk(dir):
for d in dirnames:
list_files_regex(join(root, d))
l.extend(filenames)

directory = "J:/test_pack"
directory = join(directory, "/mods")
count = 0

print y
count += 1

v_layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
for y in list_files_regex(directory):
tmp = QtGui.QCheckBox(y, self)
tmp.resize(tmp.sizeHint())
if tmp.text()[len(tmp.text()) - 8: len(tmp.text())] != 'disabled':
tmp.setChecked(True)
# if tmp.isChecked() == 0:
# tmp.stateChanged.connect(self.enable_mod)
# if tmp.isChecked():
# tmp.stateChanged.connect(self.disable_mod)
# v_layout.addWidget(tmp)
self.choices.append(tmp)
print self.choices
for choice in self.choices:
v_layout.addWidget(choice)
if choice.isChecked():
choice.stateChanged.connect(self.disable_mod)

The problem is that you're only connecting the checkbox stateChanged signal once during initialization. After the state of the checkbox changes, you're not disconnecting the signal and reconnecting it to the correct slot.
You'll need to connect the stateChanged signal to an intermediary slot that will decide which function to call based on the checkbox state. Since you're using the same slot for multiple checkboxes, it's probably best to also pass the checkbox to the slot as well.
from functools import partial
def init(self):
...
for tmp in list_of_checkboxes:
enable_slot = partial(self.enable_mod, tmp)
disable_slot = partial(self.disable_mod, tmp)
tmp.stateChanged.connect(lambda x: enable_slot() if x else disable_slot())
def enable_mod(self, checkbox):
print "ENABLE_TEST"
print checkbox.isChecked()
def disable_mod(self, checkbox):
print "DISABLE_TEST"
print checkbox.isChecked()
Alternatively, since we are now passing the checkbox to the slots, you could just use a single slot and check the checkbox state inside the slot
def init(self):
...
for tmp in list_of_checkboxes:
slot = partial(self.enable_disable_mod, tmp)
tmp.stateChanged.connect(lambda x: slot())
def enable_disable_mod(self, checkbox):
if checkbox.isChecked():
...

In my project i noticed that the main dialog freezes when it is setting the model of some ProxyModel, so i decided to create a new thread for this task to provide the responsiveness of the window, but right now it keeps popping an error that say:
TypeError: QTableView.setModel(QAbstractItemModel): argument 1 has unexpected type 'tuple'
and i don't know why...
Here's my code:
This is the QThread for updating the proxyModel with the arguments i provide
class ThreadedProxyModel(QThread):
def __init__(self, contacts, contactsProxyModel, groups, groupsProxyModel,
chatSession, chatSessionProxyModel, msgs, msgsProxyModel):
QThread.__init__(self)
self.contacts = contacts
self.contactsProxyModel = contactsProxyModel
self.groups = groups
self.groupsProxyModel = groupsProxyModel
self.chatSession = chatSession
self.chatSessionProxyModel = chatSessionProxyModel
self.msgs = msgs
self.msgsProxyModel = msgsProxyModel
def run(self):
self.contactsProxyModel.setSourceModel(recordsTableModel(self.contacts))
self.contactsProxyModel.setFilterKeyColumn(-1)
self.contactsProxyModel.setFilterCaseSensitivity(Qt.CaseInsensitive)
self.groupsProxyModel.setSourceModel(recordsTableModel(self.groups))
self.groupsProxyModel.setFilterKeyColumn(-1)
self.groupsProxyModel.setFilterCaseSensitivity(Qt.CaseInsensitive)
self.chatSessionProxyModel.setSourceModel(recordsTableModel(self.chatSession))
self.chatSessionProxyModel.setFilterKeyColumn(-1)
self.chatSessionProxyModel.setFilterCaseSensitivity(Qt.CaseInsensitive)
self.msgsProxyModel.setSourceModel(recordsTableModel(self.msgs))
self.msgsProxyModel.setFilterKeyColumn(-1)
self.msgsProxyModel.setFilterCaseSensitivity(Qt.CaseInsensitive)
def getContactsProxyModel(self):
return self.contactsProxyModel,
def getGroupsProxyModel(self):
return self.groupsProxyModel
def getChatSessionProxyModel(self):
return self.chatSessionProxyModel
def getMsgsProxyModel(self):
return self.msgsProxyModel
And this is the method calling the setProxyModel thread in the dialog class. Notice that all the data (contacts, groups, chatsession...) is fine:
def setProxyModel(self):
progress = QProgressDialog("Initializing UI ...", "Abort", 0, 0, self)
progress.setWindowTitle("WhatsApp Browser ...")
progress.setWindowModality(Qt.WindowModal)
progress.setMinimumDuration(0)
progress.setCancelButton(None)
progress.show()
queryTh = ThreadedProxyModel(self.contacts, self.contactsProxyModel, self.groups, self.groupsProxyModel,
self.chatSession, self.chatSessionProxyModel, self.msgs, self.msgsProxyModel,)
queryTh.start()
while queryTh.isRunning():
QApplication.processEvents()
self.contactsProxyModel = queryTh.getContactsProxyModel()
self.groupsProxyModel = queryTh.getGroupsProxyModel()
self.chatSessionProxyModel = queryTh.getChatSessionProxyModel()
self.msgsProxyModel = queryTh.getMsgsProxyModel()
progress.close()
And this is in the init method in my dialog, i create the proxymodels and call the method for updating them in the Thread and then i set them up in various QTableView:
self.contactsProxyModel = QSortFilterProxyModel(self)
self.groupsProxyModel = QSortFilterProxyModel(self)
self.groupMembersProxyModel = QSortFilterProxyModel(self)

Thank you for any advice, i'm pretty stuck...
Not sure, but it seems that
def getContactsProxyModel(self):
return self.contactsProxyModel,
return a tuple, try to delete the comma
I have an existing project that I'm trying to build a GUI around (using PyGI + Gtk3). There are some native objects that I need to extend slightly to make them renderable. I've boiled the problem down to the simplified code here:
# Simplified Equivalent Code
from gi.repository import GObject
from gi.repository import Gtk
from gi.repository import GdkPixbuf
# Pre-existing, complex object
class Move(object):
def __init__(self, color):
self.color = color
# Pre-existing, complex object
class Block(object):
def __init__(self,move=None,**kwds):
self.move = move
# New object created to help render a Block
class BlockGui(Block):
pixbufs = {
'empty' : GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file('block_empty.png'),
'red' : GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file('block_red.png'),
'blue' : GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file('block_blue.png'),
}
def __setattr__(self, name, value):
super(BlockGui, self).__setattr__(name, value)
if name == 'move':
print "Need to emit a signal here"
def get_pixbuf(self):
try:
return BlockGui.pixbufs[self.move.color]
except AttributeError:
return BlockGui.pixbufs['empty']
class BlockRenderer(Gtk.CellRendererPixbuf):
__gproperties__ = {
'block' : (GObject.TYPE_PYOBJECT,
'block to render',
'the block object to be rendered',
GObject.PARAM_READWRITE)
}
def __init__(self):
GObject.GObject.__init__(self)
self.block = None
def do_set_property(self, prop, value):
# What is a GParamBoxed? Should I be checking if prop == 'block' from it somehow?
if isinstance(value, BlockGui):
self.block = value
self.set_property('pixbuf', self.block.get_pixbuf())
GObject.type_register(BlockRenderer)
def destroy(widget, data=None):
Gtk.main_quit()
# Normally do not have access to this assignment
def on_clicked(widget, liststore, treeview):
treeiter = liststore.get_iter(2)
block = liststore.get_value(treeiter, 1)
block.move = Move('red')
def main():
# 3x5 so this demo window has some size
fmt = [GObject.TYPE_PYOBJECT] * 3
liststore = Gtk.ListStore(*fmt)
for r in xrange(5):
liststore.append([BlockGui() for x in xrange(3)])
treeview = Gtk.TreeView(liststore)
for c in xrange(3):
col = Gtk.TreeViewColumn(str(c))
treeview.append_column(col)
cell = BlockRenderer()
col.pack_start(cell, True)
col.add_attribute(cell, 'block', c)
button = Gtk.Button("Change Color!")
button.connect('clicked', on_clicked, liststore, treeview)
vbox = Gtk.VBox()
vbox.add(treeview)
vbox.add(button)
window = Gtk.Window(Gtk.WindowType.TOPLEVEL)
window.connect('destroy', destroy)
window.add(vbox)
window.show_all()
Gtk.main()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
When the current code is run, clicking the button yields no immediate result, but running the mouse over the changed row will cause the center square to turn red (as the hover over the row triggers a refresh). Normally, when a 'proper' GObject has a set_attribute called, it will emit some signals to notify the widgets containing it to re-render.
I need to know which signal that emits, to whom it's emitted, and how to emulate that behavior.
If you know the widget that must be redrawn, then you can just call queue_draw(), queue_draw_region() or queue_draw_area() for that widget. That will invalidate that window area and it will be redrawn. If you want more fine grained control, you might want to use Gtk.DrawingArea.
You might want to check the documentation for The GTK+ Drawing Model.
