Hi, I'm going to assume this is with PyQt.
Aside from what Thiago already mentioned, you could try to connect a method declared outside of the class scope. So something like: def myDestructor(obj): pass class MyClass(object): def __init__(self): self.destroyed.connect(myDestructor) Also do take into account that a Python object's destructor aka __del__ method might not be executed if the object is part of a cycle, due to the garbage collector not knowing the order in which destructors should be called. I believe starting with Python 3.4, finalizers are always called. > On 27 Mar 2017, at 03:52, Frank Rueter | OHUfx <fr...@ohufx.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm pretty sure I'm misinterpreting how this should work so maybe you guys > can help: > > I have a QObject which I would like to run a simple clean up job just before > it's destroyed. > I thought I could simply do this in it's constructor: > self.destroyed.connect(self.__cleanUp) > > Then have self.__cleanUp() to the work. > However, a simple print statement inside self.__cleanUp() shows that it's > never run. > > What am I missing? > > Thanks, > frank > > _______________________________________________ > Interest mailing list > Interest@qt-project.org > http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
