how to emit signal from a non PyQt class?

问题:

i'm programming an application in python using twisted and PyQt . the problem that i'm facing is that when a function in my twisted code is executed i have to print a line in the GUI, i'm trying to achieve this by emiting a signal (Non PyQt class). This does not seem to work, i have a doubt that the twisted event loop is screwing things for PyQt. Because the closeEvent signal is not being trapped by the program.

Here's the code snippet:

from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
import sys
from twisted.internet.protocol import Factory, Protocol
from twisted.protocols import amp
import qt4reactor

class register_procedure(amp.Command):
    arguments = [('MAC',amp.String()),
                        ('IP',amp.String()),
                        ('Computer_Name',amp.String()),
                        ('OS',amp.String())
                        ]
    response = [('req_status', amp.String()),
         ('ALIGN_FUNCTION', amp.String()),
                         ('ALIGN_Confirmation', amp.Integer()),
                         ('Callback_offset',amp.Integer())
                        ]

class Ui_MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self,reactor, parent=None):
        super(Ui_MainWindow,self).__init__(parent)
        self.reactor=reactor
        self.pf = Factory()
        self.pf.protocol = Protocol
        self.reactor.listenTCP(3610, self.pf) # listen on port 1234

        def setupUi(self,MainWindow):
        MainWindow.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("MainWindow"))
        MainWindow.resize(903, 677)
        self.centralwidget = QtGui.QWidget(MainWindow)
        sizePolicy = QtGui.QSizePolicy(QtGui.QSizePolicy.Expanding, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Expanding)
        sizePolicy.setHorizontalStretch(0)
        sizePolicy.setVerticalStretch(0)
        sizePolicy.setHeightForWidth(self.centralwidget.sizePolicy().hasHeightForWidth())
        self.centralwidget.setSizePolicy(sizePolicy)

        self.create_item()


        self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
        self.connect(self, QtCore.SIGNAL('triggered()'), self.closeEvent)
        QtCore.QObject.connect(self,QtCore.SIGNAL('registered()'),self.registered)
        QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)

    def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
        MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow", None))
        self.pushButton_4.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "Delete System ", None))
        self.pushButton.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "Add System", None))
        self.label_2.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "SYSTEM STATUS", None))
        self.label.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "Monitoring Output", None))


    def registered(self):# this function is not being triggered
        print "check" 
        self.textbrowser.append()

    def closeEvent(self, event):#neither is this being triggered
        print "asdf"
        self.rector.stop()
        MainWindow.close()
        event.accept()


class Protocol(amp.AMP):
    @register_procedure.responder
    def register_procedure(self,MAC,IP,Computer_Name,OS):
        self.bridge_conn=bridge()
        cursor_device.execute("""select * FROM devices where MAC = ?;""",[(MAC)])
        exists_val=cursor_device.fetchone()
        cursor_device.fetchone()
        print "register"
        if not exists_val== "":
            cursor_device.execute("""update devices set IP= ? , Computer_name= ? , OS = ?  where MAC= ?;""",[IP,Computer_Name,OS,MAC])
            QtCore.QObject.emit( QtCore.SIGNAL('registered')) # <--emits signal
            return {'req_status': "done" ,'ALIGN_FUNCTION':'none','ALIGN_Confirmation':0,'Callback_offset':call_offset(1)}
        else:
            cursor_device.execute("""INSERT INTO devices(Mac,Ip,Computer_name,Os) values (?,?,?,?);""",[MAC,IP,Computer_Name,OS])
            QtCore.QObject.emit( QtCore.SIGNAL('registered'))#<--emits signal
            return {'req_status': "done" ,'ALIGN_FUNCTION':'main_loop()','ALIGN_Confirmation':0,'Callback_offset':0}



if  __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

    try:
        import qt4reactor
    except ImportError:
        from twisted.internet import qt4reactor
    qt4reactor.install()

    from twisted.internet import reactor
    MainWindow = QtGui.QMainWindow() # <-- Instantiate QMainWindow object.
    ui = Ui_MainWindow(reactor)
    ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
    MainWindow.show()
    reactor.run()

This is what I use in my one code for sending signals from QGraphicsItems (because they are not derived from QObject and cannot send/receive signals by default). It's basically a simplified version of Radio-'s answer.

from PyQt4 import QtGui as QG
from PyQt4 import QtCore as QC

class SenderObject(QC.QObject):
    something_happened = QC.pyqtSignal()

SenderObject is a tiny class derived from QObject where you can put all the signals you need to emit. In this case only one is defined.

class SnapROIItem(QG.QGraphicsRectItem):
    def __init__(self, parent = None):
        super(SnapROIItem, self).__init__(parent)
        self.sender = SenderObject()
    def do_something_and_emit(self):
        ...
        self.sender.something_happened.emit()

In the non-QObject class you add a SenderObject as a sender variable. Anywhere where the non-QObject class is used you can connect the signal from the sender to anything you need.

class ROIManager(QC.QObject):
    def add_snaproi(self, snaproi):
        snaproi.sender.something_happened.connect(...)

UPDATE

The full code is this and should print out "Something happened...":

from PyQt4 import QtGui as QG
from PyQt4 import QtCore as QC

class SenderObject(QC.QObject):
    something_happened = QC.pyqtSignal()

class SnapROIItem(QG.QGraphicsItem):
    def __init__(self, parent = None):
        super(SnapROIItem, self).__init__(parent)
        self.sender = SenderObject()
    def do_something_and_emit(self):
        self.sender.something_happened.emit()

class ROIManager(QC.QObject):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(ROIManager,self).__init__(parent)
    def add_snaproi(self, snaproi):
        snaproi.sender.something_happened.connect(self.new_roi)
    def new_roi(self):
        print 'Something happened in ROI!'

if __name__=="__main__":)
    roimanager = ROIManager()
    snaproi = SnapROIItem()
    roimanager.add_snaproi(snaproi)
    snaproi.do_something_and_emit()

UPDATE 2

Instead of

QtCore.QObject.connect(self,QtCore.SIGNAL('registered()'),self.registered) 

you should have:

protocol.sender.registered.connect(self.registered)

This means you also need to get hold of the protocol instance in self.pf (by the way, do you import Protocol and then define it yourself as well?)

In the Protocol class instead of

QtCore.QObject.emit( QtCore.SIGNAL('registered')

you need to, first, instantiate a SenderObject in the Protocol.

class Protocol(amp.AMP):
    def __init__( self, *args, **kw ):
       super(Protocol, self).__init__(*args, **kw)
       self.sender = SenderObject()

and then, in register_procedure emit the signal through sender: self.sender.registered.emit()

For all of this to work you'll have to have defined SenderObject as:

class SenderObject(QC.QObject):
    registered = QC.pyqtSignal()

This is an old post, but it helped me. Here is my version. One item that is not a QObject signaling two other non QObject's to run their methods.

from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore

class Signal(object):
    class Emitter(QtCore.QObject):
        registered = QtCore.pyqtSignal()
        def __init__(self):
            super(Signal.Emitter, self).__init__()

    def __init__(self):
        self.emitter = Signal.Emitter()

    def register(self):
        self.emitter.registered.emit()

    def connect(self, signal, slot):
        signal.emitter.registered.connect(slot)

class item(object):
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.signal = Signal()

    def something(self):
        print self.name, ' says something'

>>> itemA = item('a')
>>> itemB = item('b')
>>> itemC = item('c')
>>> itemA.signal.connect(itemA.signal, itemB.something)
>>> itemA.signal.connect(itemA.signal, itemC.something)
>>> itemA.signal.register()

b  says something
c  says something

The two basic problems are that:

1) Something has to know the sender and receiver of the signals

Consider a more frequent case in Qt where you may have multiple buttons, each with a 'clicked' signal. Slots need to know which button was clicked, so catching a generic signal does not make much sense.

and 2) The signals have to originate from a QObject.

Having said that, I'm not sure what the canonical implementation is. Here is one way to do it, using the idea of a Bridge that you had in one of your earlier posts, and a special Emitter class inside of Protocol. Running this code will simply print 'Working it' when protocol.register() is called.

from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
import sys

class Ui_MainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Ui_MainWindow, self).__init__()

    def work(self):
        print "Working it"

class Protocol(object):
    class Emitter(QtCore.QObject):
        registered = QtCore.pyqtSignal()
        def __init__(self):
            super(Protocol.Emitter, self).__init__()

    def __init__(self):
        self.emitter = Protocol.Emitter()

    def register(self):
        self.emitter.registered.emit()

class Bridge(QtCore.QObject):
    def __init__(self, gui, protocol):
        super(Bridge, self).__init__()
        self.gui = gui
        self.protocol = protocol

    def bridge(self):
        self.protocol.emitter.registered.connect(self.gui.work)

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
gui = Ui_MainWindow()
protocol = Protocol()
bridge = Bridge(gui, protocol)
bridge.bridge()
#protocol.register() #uncomment to see 'Working it' printed to the console
