How to pass arguments to functions by the click of button in PyQt?

Question

I want to pass the arguments to a function when I click the button. What should I add to this line button.connect(button, QtCore.SIGNAL(\'clicked()\'), calluser(name))

Answer 1

Here is another way. --- PARTIAL -- I find this one most simple:

    widget = QWidget()
    widgetLayout = QVBoxLayout()

    for action in list:

        button = QPushButton("{action}".format(action=action['name']),self)
        button.clicked.connect(partial(self.action_selected,action=action['name']))
        widgetLayout.addWidget(button)

    widget.setLayout(widgetLayout)

def action_selected(self,action):
    print action
