Dear friends, I need execute an external program from a gui using PyQt4, to avoid that hang the main thread, i must connect the signal "finished(int)" of a QProcess to work properly.
for example, why this program don't work? from PyQt4.QtCore import QProcess pro = QProcess() # create QProcess object pro.connect(pro, SIGNAL('started()'), lambda x="started":print(x)) # connect pro.connect(pro, SIGNAL("finished(int)"), lambda x="finished":print(x)) pro.start('python',['hello.py']) # star hello.py program (contain print("hello world!")) timeout = -1 pro.waitForFinished(timeout) print(pro.readAllStandardOutput().data()) output: started 0 b'hello world!\n' see that not emit the signal finished(int) I'm using Python 3.2 and PyQt 4.8.4 under winxp 32bit. best regards, -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
