I want to integrate a python solution that will allow me to create new content using python all running within the C++ app loop. I'm hoping I can do it with PyQt. Creating the library would work - it would allow me to test and work in python. There are only a few things I need the python to know about from the C++ side - the login data, a couple of pieces of data, and one Class. After those minor things I don't need a thing. That said, it would be nice if the python side could call up some of the C++ forms. I've done things with embedding in the past and never really liked the process of starting up a Python interpreter from within a C++ application. For something I'm currently working on, I decided to do what Matt suggests, which is to build the application as a library - for a qmake-based build system, this basically means changing the TEMPLATE line in its .pro file to TEMPLATE = lib Then you create wrappers for the classes you need. If your application's main() function is simple - creates an application, creates a window, opens it - then you can start by creating a wrapper for the window class and writing an equivalent Python script to start the application. I would put some examples on the (unofficial) PyQt Wiki but it appears to have disappeared again.

Load time seems very fast with PythonQt. I don't know what the load time of PyQt would be - but if it was under 10 seconds - that would be ok. You don't have to wrap the entire API or rewrite the whole application. You just need to identify which classes need to be exposed to Python and wrap those. In terms of embedding Python into a C++ application (or framework), I was never very happy about whether or not I'd got the reference counting correct. I may have to move to QML and javascript (a terrible language) - short of wrapping everything and or rewriting the entire program.

Re: [PyQt] PyQt4 question about type-to-select in numeric drop-down lists
On Tue Aug 27 15:53:59 BST 2013, Sarah Mount wrote: sorry if this is a bit of a n00b question, but hopefully someone can clarify a misunderstanding for me. I am working with some colleagues on a Python2.x PyQt4 project and the GUI for this software has several drop-down lists where each entry in the list is an integer, in numerical order. We have had a (reproducible) bug report about these. No problem. Sometimes what seems to be the simplest things can have surprising behaviour. When a user clicks on the drop-down and types a number, the drop-down scrolls to select that number. So, [contrived example] if the drop-down contains entries 0-1000 and the user types 23, the drop-down scrolls to reveal 23 (if necessary) and selects that entry on the list. So far, so standard. If the user selects a number with repeated digits, i.e. any multiple of 11 (in reality only tested on numbers 100) the wrong number is selected. For example, if I open a drop-down and type 77 70 gets selected. Is this some obvious bug in the way we have configured our GUI or have I misunderstood something really basic? No, I think it's a bug in Qt, and probably in QAbstractItemView because that's what is providing the underlying list logic in the drop-down menu. The behaviour seems to be that the string used to search the data is checked to see if it is simply the same first character repeated throughout the string (e.g., aaa or 333) and handled specially. This seems to completely break the regular behaviour: if you try 77, it won't work, but 776 will cause it to navigate to the correct item. If anyone wants to sanity check my reasoning, I think the problem is in QAbstractItemView::keyboardSearch(). I can't immediately suggest a workaround. My instinct would be to use a completer to influence the way QComboBox finds items but I don't know if that will help, especially when the drop-down is open.

This runs Angstrom Linux: Angstrom v2012.05 (Core edition) Target system: arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi I'd very much prefer to use PyQt for the GUI development for this project. I'd like to buy a commercial license for it right away, from Riverbank. Sadly it's out of the question thus far, because the latest PyQt package for Angstrom is based on Angstrom distro 2011.03. As far as I can tell, images of that Angstrom version are no longer available. Else I'd just roll the system back to that version in order to install and use PyQt. I haven't really looked at Angstrom for a while. The Gumstix board I was using came with a version of the distribution, but I didn't get into using it. Instead, I was building a distribution from scratch. I've tried forcing the older (2011.03) packages of PyQt and SIP to install on the 2012.05 Angstrom. I ran down the dependencies and verified their presence myself. Even with workarounds for the problems that causes, I still get error messages in Python which I suspect are caused by missing libraries (of C). Naturally I first made a backup of the system's SD card (its entire boot root media) so I can start fresh if needed. Can you post the error messages? It might help to diagnose the problem. I've read every scrap of info I could find on the web for this situation. All day. Tried several avenues to proceed. I've already canvassed the Angstrom site, the Qt site, the BeagleBone site, the Python site, and everything else on the first several pages of a dozen Google searches. All dead ends. Can you say some more about what exactly you want? For example, which version of PyQt/Qt you need. Additionally, the package for python-pyqt-dev is using an X11 version of Qt. Is that what you want, or are you going to be using Qt/Embedded? http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=python-pyqt-dev I noticed that there's an online rootfs builder for the distribution. Does that help at all? http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/ Is there someone I can pay $$$ to resolve this problem within a few days? For example by compiling PyQt from source code for this environment? I'm an accomplished desktop and embedded programmer, though I have very bad luck compiling other people's C code in situations like this. But I do have access to some money for the person who can do it. I also have a BeagleBone to use for this purpose if it helps. And a PC that can be used remotely to accomplish this. I would like to help you, though I can't accept payment for it - I don't think my employer would approve. :-) However, I'm not going to be able to give you advice until mid-August, so I think you'll need to find someone else.

If that works, modify the draggableicons.qrc file to refer to your new images and run the pyrcc4 tool to create a draggableicons_rc.py file. The pyrcc4 tool basically converts the image data into a textual format that can be stored in that Python module. The example imports the module, causing the images to be registered as resources - the ':/images/boat.png' string you can see in the draggableicons.py example is a reference to the image in a kind of resource file system.

QPixmap just represents the image data. It only records the data, not the
name of the file it came from. It's a similar situation with QIcon. You
need to store the name somewhere yourself.
If you keep a reference to the label, one way to record the file name might
be to store it as an attribute of the label.
thisPixmap = QtGui.QPixmap('server:/images/airplane.jpg')
self.thisIcon = QtGui.QLabel(self)
self.thisIcon.setPixmap(thisPixmap)
self.thisIcon.fileName = 'server:/images/airplane.jpg'
Or you could keep a dictionary that maps labels to file names. It depends
on how you are organising your application.

I looked into this a bit but couldn't figure out how to do what I want. You can stay with a QListWidget if you want, but the mechanisms used to handle dragging and dropping will be a bit different to those you would use with QListView (where you would delegate most of this to the model). The draganddrop/puzzle example provided with PyQt uses a QListWidget to display a collection of puzzle pieces that can be dropped inside or outside the list, though it's not exactly the most user friendly interface you could imagine. The itemviews/puzzle example is more or less the same, but uses QListView instead of QListWidget. It implements support for drag and drop in a custom model, which is based on QAbstractListModel to make it as simple as possible.

Subclassing QWebView and implementing just the overridden method is much cleaner and doesn't look like a hack. Also if you my message about the SIP issue, it appears that the PyQt core will not consider any overload it doesn't detect as being such at class creation time. I think this QWebPage issue is just a misunderstanding about what kind of objects are being passed around. The objects people create from within Python are subclasses of Qt widgets with extra hooks to enable method reimplementation from within Python, and this includes support for monkey-patching of both classes and instances. I almost clearly doubt, that attribute assignment will modify the class later on. Here's a working example: from PyQt4.QtGui import * app = QApplication([]) def paintEvent(self, event): painter = QPainter() painter.begin(self) painter.fillRect(event.rect(), QBrush(QColor(255,0,0))) painter.end() QWidget.paintEvent = paintEvent w = QWidget() w.show() app.exec_() In general, it appears, that to overload you must use a class and for me unfortunately, it must be a pure Python function or method object at that point. I haven't looked at this in any detail, but you may be correct in saying that the hooks that allow method overriding are specifically looking for certain kinds of objects; in this case, Python callables. Enhancing sip to be able to track at run time the changes to the class appears possible. For consistency with Python it should be done, but the benefit, other than consistency with every other Python class, I admit, is dubious. I haven't looked at this, either.

Still not sure about auto-selecting the last item added to the tree.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
You could call the tree widget's setCurrentItem() method, passing the last
item. Whether the item will be selected, as well as made the current item,
depends on what the selection mode is. You can change that by calling
setSelectionMode() with the required value:

However, I have three QDockWidgets, one that is intended to stretch over the bottom of the main window, and the other two above it side by side, like this: [][] [ ] OK, it sounds like you need to tell the top two dock widgets to occupy the top area - set their dockWidgetArea properties to TopDockWidgetArea in the property editor and check their docked properties. The other dock widget should be placed in the BottomDockWidgetArea. I've set all of the sizePolicy properties to Expanding; the lower dockWidget expands correctly both horizontally and vertically. The top two widgets will expand vertically but leave a large gap in the centre of the main window when resizing the main window horizontally. This worked just fine when I was applying a grid layout to the centralWidget. Any ideas? Using the instructions above, you should now be able to resize them to fill the window in the way you want, but I'm not sure if it's possible to get them to expand in the way you describe. It depends on what they contain. It all seems a bit counter-intuitive to me! Maybe the diagram on this page will help to explain things: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/mainwindow.html The center widget or central area in the main window is a normal widget that you can place any other widgets in. This includes dock widgets, but they aren't designed to be used like that. They are supposed to be managed separately by the main window, outside the central area. Qt Designer does a reasonable job of letting you configure this, but it is constrained by its widgets-on-a-form approach to UI design. If it turns out that you aren't using all the features of dock widgets in your application, you can design the kind of UI you describe using splitters instead. If you want to do that, just ask and I can give more details. David ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

Try creating the pixmap in a separate step then inspecting it, like this: pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap(view.jpg) print pixmap.isNull() There are two main reasons why this may fail (returning True): 1. view.jpg is not in the current working directory. You can specify a more complete path to it, or create a resource file to bundle the image as part of a Python module that you can simply import. 2. JPEG support is not built-in to your version of Qt.

If the widget interprets a mouse click, screen touch or a press on the tablet as mouse events then there may not be a way to distinguish between them. In other words, if Windows converts events to mouse clicks and sends them to Qt then there wouldn't be a way to tell. Is there any way to disable for example the touch screen events for one widget and the mouse events for another? If you are receiving different kinds of events for the mouse, screen and tablet then you could install event filters to stop certain kinds of events from being delivered to each widget. Qt has classes to represent these kinds of events: QMouseEvent: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qmouseevent.html QTabletEvent: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qtabletevent.html QTouchEvent: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qtouchevent.html So, in theory, it should be possible.

[PyQt] [PyQtMobility] QGeoServiceProvider factory methods
I've been looking at using Qt Mobility 1.1 (or thereabouts) with PyQtMobility 0.2 and I encountered an issue with the QGeoServiceProvider.mappingManager() factory method. It seems that the documented behaviour of the method conflicts with the bindings for that class in which the method is annotated with the /Factory/ annotation. The documentation says this: This function will attempt to construct a QGeoMappingManager instance when it is called for the first time. If the attempt is successful the QGeoMappingManager will be cached, otherwise each call of this function will attempt to construct a QGeoMappingManager instance until the construction is successful. The result is that, if I call this method to obtain a QGeoMappingManager, Python gets ownership of it. So, if I let it go out of scope, the underlying object is destroyed, and calling the method again will result in a segfault. I imagine the problem also exists for the routingManager() and searchManager() methods. David ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
