pyside

Learning PySide, I'm tweaking a text edit widget (QLineEdit) and trying to set the placeholder text using setPlaceHolderText as in the code snippet below (which I invoke from main ). Unfortunately, it is not working as I expected. The code runs, but the text box is blank, does not show the placeholder text. I am in Windows 7, Python 2.7 (working in iPython). class MyTextEdit(QtGui.QWidget): def __init__(self): QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self) self.textEditor=QtGui.QLineEdit(self) self.textEditor.move(50,15) self.textEditor.setPlaceholderText("Don't mind me.") self.setGeometry(100, 100, 200, 50)

I decided to add a GUI to one of my scripts. The script is a simple web scraper. I decided to use a worker thread as downloading and parsing the data can take a while. I decided to use PySide, but my knowledge of Qt in general is quite limited. As the script is supposed to wait for user input upon coming across a captcha I decided it should wait until a QLineEdit fires returnPressed and then send it's content to the worker thread so it can send it for validation. That should be better than busy-waiting for the return key to be pressed. It seems that waiting for a signal isn't as straight

I use the QWebView (python 3.3 + pyside 1.1.2 + Qt 4.8) as FileViewer. Picture, Text, HTML, ... all fine, but PDF has a display problem. I tested two possible ways. internal pdf viewer: after use webview.load(file) it loads, but the screen is blank, after loading another file, all works fine, it shows the file pdf.js: after use setContent() with filebase, it loads the webviewer.html/.js with a white page and the loading circle. The screen only refresh if I resize the form or use the scrollbars, but then all is fine I don't find an event for "plugin/javascript finished loading", so I could

I seem to be hitting a brick wall. No matter what I do, creating a critical error Message Box just doesn't seem to be working. Here's what I've tried thus far: flags = QtGui.QMessageBox.StandardButton.Abort flags |= QtGui.QMessageBox.StandardButton.Ignore result = QtGui.QMessageBox.critical( self, 'CRITICAL ERROR', 'Error Message', flags ) As taken from this tutorial (old I know, but it's been helpful thus far). Doing this however, brings up the following error: 'PySide.QtGui.QMessageBox.critical' called with wrong argument types: PySide.QtGui.QMessageBox.critical(CreateMessage, str,

I'm new to PyQt / PySide. I have a lot of line edit (for displaying file location) and for each line text I have a push button (to display open file dialog). I have a method: def selectSelf1(self): """ browse for file dialog """ myDialog = QtGui.QFileDialog self.lineSelf1.setText(myDialog.getOpenFileName()) and a push button is binded using the following code self.btnSelf1.clicked.connect(self.selectSelf1) I have about 20 of those buttons and 20 of those line edits. Is there an easy way to bind all of those button to their corresponding line edits rather than typing out everything. Thanks!
