how to use timer in PYQT5 for loop - python

this is the first writing for asking..
I would like to make a program for currency.
everything works well without looping. I used 'while' but it frozen the GUI.
so I searched for solution, and I found timer in pyqt5. but I don't know how to use. If you can help me, it is really honor to me.
sorry for my bad English.
Here's the my full code

1.this program check currency using Beautiful soup.
2.and compare with the value I put
3.and pop up the message,

The QtCore.QTimer class provides repetitive and single-shot timers.
You wrote everything practical. Add the called slot (showTime).

In your example you can use next:
Click "Search"
Click "to get alert"
Look on the process for 1-2 minutes

QlineEdit and signal & slot

I have created a widget with QLineEdit and QLabel, I want to get input from QlineEdit and display it with QLabel. I have used Signal and Slot connection, I do not know what I do wrong, but it is not working correctly. I would like to get both values from QLineEdit and later show it.
Current window
what I want?
Code:

sys.exit(app.exec_())
according to samples in the image you want to show different texts but you are converting the same number to whole: L_Display = int(text) and T_Display = int(text) so how do you expect to show 2 different texts?, obviously the function display needs 2 entries (2 different entries to self plus I have changed to lowercase since it is recommended that the functions have a lowercase name).
Now the logic is as follows: if any of the texts of length_edit or thick_edit changes then you must call display() passing the new texts. So the solution is to use a slot that connects to the textEdited signals of both QLineEdits and in it obtain the text and pass the texts.
Finally I see that you want the QLineEdits receive only numbers so one option is to use a QIntValidator so that only numbers are acceptable (another better option is to use QSpinBox instead of QLineEdit)

How to set property of QTextCharFormat in PyQt?

I am trying to set a custom property of an image inserted into a QTextEdit. I have the following example code which sets then outputs the value of the property to the terminal:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
class TestEditor(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
QWidget.__init__(self)
layout = QVBoxLayout()
self.setLayout(layout)
self.layout().setSpacing(0)
self.layout().setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0)
self.textEdit = QTextEdit()
self.layout().addWidget(self.textEdit)
document = self.textEdit.document()
cursor = QTextCursor(document)
cursor.insertImage("./testimage.png")
f = cursor.charFormat()
print(f)
prop_id = 0x100000 + 1
f.setProperty(prop_id, 100)
print(f.intProperty(prop_id))
print('------')
block = document.firstBlock()
while block.length() > 0:
print(block)
it = block.begin()
while not it.atEnd():
f = it.fragment()
fmt = f.charFormat()
print(fmt)
print(fmt.intProperty(prop_id))
it += 1
block = block.next()
class TestWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
QWidget.__init__(self)
self.initUi()
def initUi(self):
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(HextEditor())
self.setLayout(layout)
self.layout().setSpacing(0)
self.layout().setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0)
self.setWindowTitle('button tooltip')
self.show()
def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = TestWindow()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
The program results in an output of:
<PyQt5.QtGui.QTextCharFormat object at 0x107109ba8>
100
------
<PyQt5.QtGui.QTextBlock object at 0x105448318>
<PyQt5.QtGui.QTextCharFormat object at 0x107109ba8>
0
Note that the second time the value is gotten it has a value of 0 rather than 100. It even appears to be the same instance of a QTextCharFormat. How would I accomplish something like this? Am I missing something simple here?
I solved this by saving the range of the inserted image, selecting it, and using QTextCursor.setCharFormat() to save the changes:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
class TestEditor(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
QWidget.__init__(self)
layout = QVBoxLayout()
self.setLayout(layout)
self.layout().setSpacing(0)
self.layout().setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0)
self.textEdit = QTextEdit()
self.layout().addWidget(self.textEdit)
document = self.textEdit.document()
cursor = QTextCursor(document)
# Save the position of the beginning and end of the inserted image
p1 = cursor.position()
cursor.insertImage("./testimage.png")
p2 = cursor.position()
f = cursor.charFormat()
print(f)
prop_id = 0x100000 + 1
f.setProperty(prop_id, 100)
# Select the inserted fragment and apply format
cursor.setPosition(p1)
cursor.setPosition(p2, QTextCursor.KeepAnchor)
cursor.setCharFormat(f)
print(f.intProperty(prop_id))
print('------')
block = document.firstBlock()
while block.length() > 0:
print(block)
it = block.begin()
while not it.atEnd():
f = it.fragment()
fmt = f.charFormat()
print(fmt)
print(fmt.intProperty(prop_id))
it += 1
block = block.next()
class TestWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
QWidget.__init__(self)
self.initUi()
def initUi(self):
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(TestEditor())
self.setLayout(layout)
self.layout().setSpacing(0)
self.layout().setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0)
self.setWindowTitle('button tooltip')
self.show()
def main():
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = TestWindow()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

Scrolling Text in PyQt?

I'm trying to have text from feedparser scroll across the screen from right to left. I'm using PyQt5, I'm not sure how to go about adding this feature.
What I want to display is below
import feedparser
sports = feedparser.parse('http://rssfeeds.usatoday.com/UsatodaycomSports-TopStories')
for e in sports['entries']:
news = (e.get('title', ''))
I'm looking for a continuous scrolling until all the news headlines are read and then the page is reloaded to get the most recent headlines or just reread whats already there. Thanks!
You can use QTimeLine to show a continously scrolling slice of the news in a label. I implemented it in a little gui to try, if other functions in the app are blocked while QTimeLine is running:

pyqt:how to emit a signal when NextButton of a QwizardPage was clicked

I created a QWizard object which contains several pages, I tried to open a file when NextButton of the specific page was clicked. At first, I triedQWizard.NextButton.clicked.connect(), came with :
"AttributeError: 'WizardButton' object has no attribute 'clicked''.
After that, I searched "WizardButton" in Qt Assistant, couldn't get any useful signals to emit, is it possible to implement that like QPushButton.clicked.connect()?
here's the specific page:
class AccountPage(QWizardPage):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(AccountPage, self).__init__(parent)
self.setTitle("Account Information")
NameLabel = QLabel("&Name:")
NameLineEdit = QLineEdit()
NameLabel.setBuddy(NameLineEdit)
EmailLabel = QLabel("&Email Address:")
EmailLineEdit = QLineEdit()
EmailLabel.setBuddy(EmailLineEdit)
PwdLabel = QLabel("&Password:")
PwdLineEdit = QLineEdit()
PwdLabel.setBuddy(PwdLineEdit)
self.registerField('Name*', NameLineEdit)
self.registerField('EmailAddress*', EmailLineEdit)
self.registerField('Password*', PwdLineEdit)
layout = QGridLayout()
layout.addWidget(NameLabel, 0, 0)
layout.addWidget(NameLineEdit, 0, 1)
layout.addWidget(EmailLabel, 1, 0)
layout.addWidget(EmailLineEdit, 1, 1)
layout.addWidget(PwdLabel, 2, 0)
layout.addWidget(PwdLineEdit, 2, 1)
self.setLayout(layout)
QWizard.NextButton.clicked.connect(self.setMB)
def setMB(self):
try:
with open('mb.ini', 'w') as actInfo:
actInfo.write('sj')
except IOError as err:
print('mb.ini error:' + str(err))
import sys
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *

class Window(QWizard):
def __init__(self):
super(Window, self).__init__()
self.accoutPage = AccountPage()
self.secondPage = Page2()
self.thirdPage = Page3()
self.addPage(self.accoutPage)
self.addPage(self.secondPage)
self.addPage(self.thirdPage)
self.button(QWizard.NextButton).clicked.connect(self.accoutPage.setMB)
class AccountPage(QWizardPage):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(AccountPage, self).__init__(parent)
self.setTitle("Account Information")
self.NameLabel = QLabel("&Name:")
self.NameLineEdit = QLineEdit()
self.NameLabel.setBuddy(self.NameLineEdit)
self.EmailLabel = QLabel("&Email Address:")
self.EmailLineEdit = QLineEdit()
self.EmailLabel.setBuddy(self.EmailLineEdit)
self.PwdLabel = QLabel("&Password:")
self.PwdLineEdit = QLineEdit()
self.PwdLabel.setBuddy(self.PwdLineEdit)
self.registerField('Name*', self.NameLineEdit)
self.registerField('EmailAddress*', self.EmailLineEdit)
self.registerField('Password*', self.PwdLineEdit)

self.setLayout(layout)
self.i = 0 #if you need to call it once
def setMB(self):
if self.i == 0:
print(self.PwdLineEdit.text(), self.i)
try:
with open('mb.ini', 'w') as actInfo:
actInfo.write('sj')
except IOError as err:
print('mb.ini error:' + str(err))
finally:
self.i += 1

How to see a file download progress without the GUI freezing (python 3.4, pyQt5) using QThread

So I'm trying to make a simple file downloader in Python 3.4.2 and PyQt5
QThreads seems to be the way but there's no tutorials online or examples that I could understand for PyQt5. All I could find was Qt5 Reference for C/C++ and bunch of PyQt4 tutorials that don't work for PyQt5 and Python 3
Here's the GUI screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/KGjqRRK.png
And here's my code:
#!usr/bin/env python3
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from string import Template
import urllib.request
import sys
class Form(QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Form, self).__init__(parent)
lblUrl= QLabel("File URL:")
self.txtURL = QLineEdit()
self.bttDL = QPushButton("&Download")
self.pbar = QProgressBar()
self.pbar.setMinimum(0)
buttonLayout1 = QVBoxLayout()
buttonLayout1.addWidget(lblUrl)
buttonLayout1.addWidget(self.txtURL)
buttonLayout1.addWidget(self.bttDL)
buttonLayout1.addWidget(self.pbar)
self.bttDL.clicked.connect(self.bttPush)
mainLayout = QGridLayout()
mainLayout.addLayout(buttonLayout1, 0, 1)
self.setLayout(mainLayout)
self.setWindowTitle("pySFD")
def bttPush(self):
# check if the download is already running or just disable the button
# while it's running
url = self.txtURL.text()
if url == "":
QMessageBox.information(self, "Empty URL",
"Please enter the URL of the file you want to download.")
return
else:
filename = str(QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self, 'Choose the download location and file name', '.'))
filename = filename[:-6]
filename = filename.split("('",maxsplit=1)[1]
self.dlThread = downloaderThread()
self.dlThread.connect(dlThread.run)
self.dlThread.start()
self.dlThread.emit(url)
class downloaderThread(QThread):
def __init__(self):
QThread.__init__(self)
def __del__(self):
self.wait()
def run(self, dlLink):
while dlLink.length == 0:
QThread.sleep(1)
pass
def report(block_count, block_size, total_size):
if block_count == 0:
self.pbar.setValue(0)
if (block_count * block_size) == total_size:
QMessageBox.information(self,"Done!","Download finished!")
return
self.pbar.setValue(self.pbar.value() + block_size)
urllib.request.urlretrieve(dlLink, filename, reporthook=report)
self.terminate()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
screen = Form()
screen.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
I've tried a lot of ways and it just doesn't seem to work.
How do I make the progress bar (self.pbar) show the download progress in real time?
PS. This downloader is on my GitHub: https://github.com/dKatara/pySFD
Fixed it, it's not done yet, but threading works great!
