Yes, the print, as I said, is DEBUG only.
The way you said works: http://pastebin.com/bqCjNZGH
Code: http://pastebin.com/9u2WCVat
Everything seems to be working, but, when I try to really use the program
and convert something change the spinBox value I get:
###
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/.../currency.py", line 20, in update_ui
amount = (rates[from_] / rates[to]) * fromSpinBox.value()
TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str
###
What I have here is a DICT, not a LIST, why Python is reading it as a list?
I do need to pass a str (the currency names) to get the values from the
dict. I'm reading the doc trying to figure this out.
