PyQt4.QtCore.pyqtSignal object has no attribute 'connect'

Question

I\'m having issues with a custom signal in a class I made.

Relevant code:

self.parse_triggered = QtCore.pyqtSignal()

def parseFile(self):
    self.e         


        

Answer 1

You also get that error message if you fail to call super() or QObject.__init__() in your custom class.

A checklist for defining custom signals in a class in Qt in Python:

• your class derives from QObject (directly or indirectly)
• your class __init__ calls super() (or calls QObject.__init__() directly.)
• your signal is defined as a class variable, not an instance variable
• the signature (formal arguments) of your signal matches the signature of any slot that you will connect to the signal e.g. () or (int) or (str) or ((int,), (str,))
