How to reopen window

Question

The following code should close the current file and open it again. Instead, it keeps opening only new windows.

Does anybody have a hint for keeping the old window clos

Answer 1

You seem to have put self.close() in the wrong place. Also, you should not use subprocess.call, as it will block until the command completes. It's better to use QProcess instead:

    def run(self, path):
        QtCore.QProcess.startDetached('python', [path])
        self.close()

    def initUI(self):
        self.btn_newSearch = QtGui.QPushButton('Start', self)
        ...
