This is my mainscript which calls some generated UI and defines a few functions:
import uifile
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
import sys
class App(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, uifile.Ui_MyWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(self.__class__, self).__init__()
self.setupUi(self)
self.btn_clickMe.clicked.connect(self.some_function)
return
def some_function(self):
import otherpyscript
def input_user(self):
user = self.lineEdit_username.text()
return user
def main():
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
form = App()
form.show()
app.exec_()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
This is the other script where I call the function from mainscript:
...
import mainscript
print("The user input from your other script is: " + mainscript.App().input_user())
I'm trying to get mainscript.App().input_user()
to not show up as empty (the default for PyQt).
EDIT:
On second thoughts, the right approach depends on how mainscript
is used. If it is used as the start-up script, it will not be initially imported, which then complicates things when it comes to accessing its globals later on.
A better approach is to have a very simple start-up script that only has this in it:
# mainscript
if __name__ == '__main__':
from mainmodule import main
main()
The mainmodule
would then look like this:
# mainmodule
import sys
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
import uifile
class App(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, uifile.Ui_MyWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setupUi(self)
self.btn_clickMe.clicked.connect(self.some_function)
def some_function(self):
import othermodule
othermodule.print_user()
def input_user(self):
user = self.lineEdit_username.text()
return user
form = None
def main_window():
return form
def main():
global form
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
form = App()
form.show()
app.exec_()
And othermodule
would look like this:
# othermodule
import mainmodule
def print_user():
print("user input: " + mainmodule.main_window().input_user())
