Update PyQt progress from another thread running FTP download

问题

I want to access progress bar's (which is in the Ui_MainWindow() class) setMaximum() from another class/thread (DownloadThread() class).

I tried making DownloadThread() class inherit from Ui_MainWindow: DownloadThread(Ui_MainWindow). But when I try to set the maximum progress bar value:

Ui_MainWindow.progressBar.setMaximum(100)

I get this error:

AttributeError: type object 'Ui_MainWindow' has no attribute 'progressBar'

My code:

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
    def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
        # ...
        self.updateButton = QtGui.QPushButton(self.centralwidget)
        self.progressBar = QtGui.QProgressBar(self.centralwidget)
        self.updateStatusText = QtGui.QLabel(self.centralwidget)
        # ...
        self.updateButton.clicked.connect(self.download_file)
        # ...

    def download_file(self):
        self.thread = DownloadThread()
        self.thread.data_downloaded.connect(self.on_data_ready)
        self.thread.start()

    def on_data_ready(self, data):
        self.updateStatusText.setText(str(data))


class DownloadThread(QtCore.QThread, Ui_MainWindow):

    data_downloaded = QtCore.pyqtSignal(object)

    def run(self):
        self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Connecting...')

        ftp = FTP('example.com')
        ftp.login(user='user', passwd='pass')

        ftp.cwd('/some_directory/')

        filename = '100MB.bin'
        totalsize = ftp.size(filename)
        print(totalsize)

        # SET THE MAXIMUM VALUE OF THE PROGRESS BAR
        Ui_MainWindow.progressBar.setMaximum(totalsize)          

        self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Downloading...')

        global localfile
        with open(filename, 'wb') as localfile:
            ftp.retrbinary('RETR ' + filename, self.file_write)

        ftp.quit()
        localfile.close()

        self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Updated!')

    def file_write(self, data):
        global localfile
        localfile.write(data)
        print(len(data))

The immediate problem is that Ui_MainWindow is a class, not an instance of the class. You would have to pass your "window" self to the DownloadThread. But that's not the right solution anyway. You cannot access PyQt widgets from another thread. Instead, use the same technique as you already do, to update the status text (FTP download with text label showing the current status of the download).

The following code shows the first step. But you will also have to pass the actual progress the same way. But you didn't show us your file_write, so I cannot post a complete solution yet.

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
    def download_file(self):
        self.thread = DownloadThread()
        self.thread.data_downloaded.connect(self.on_data_ready)
        self.thread.data_progress.connect(self.on_progress_ready)
        self.progress_initialized = False
        self.thread.start()

    def on_progress_ready(self, data):
        # The first signal sets the maximum, the other signals increase a progress
        if self.progress_initialized:
            self.progressBar.setValue(self.progressBar.value() + int(data))
        else:
            self.progressBar.setMaximum(int(data))
            self.progress_initialized = True

class DownloadThread(QtCore.QThread):

    data_downloaded = QtCore.pyqtSignal(object)
    data_progress = QtCore.pyqtSignal(object)

    def run(self):
        self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Connecting...')

        with FTP('example.com') as ftp:
            ftp.login(user='user', passwd='pass')

            ftp.cwd('/some_directory/')

            filename = '100MB.bin'
            totalsize = ftp.size(filename)
            print(totalsize)

            # The first signal sets the maximum
            self.data_progress.emit(str(totalsize))

            self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Downloading...')

            with open(filename, 'wb') as self.localfile:
                ftp.retrbinary('RETR ' + filename, self.file_write)

        self.data_downloaded.emit('Status: Updated!')

    def file_write(self, data):
        self.localfile.write(data)
        # The other signals increase a progress
        self.data_progress.emit(str(len(data)))

Other changes to your code:

global localfile is a bad practice. Use self.localfile instead.
There's no need for localfile.close(), with takes care of that.
Similarly ftp.quit() should be replaced with with.
There's no need for DownloadThread to inherit from Ui_MainWindow.

the thread class:

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets, QtPrintSupport,QtWebEngineWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QDialog,QWidget,QApplication, QInputDialog, QLineEdit, QFileDialog,QProgressDialog, QMainWindow, QFrame,QSplashScreen
from PyQt5.QtCore import QThread , pyqtSignal,Qt
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon,QPainter,QPixmap

class threaded_class(QThread):

    signal_to_send_at_progress_bar = pyqtSignal()
    def __init__(self,parent=None):
        QThread.__init__(self, parent=parent)
    def run(self):
        while self.isRunning:
            ##do the stuf you want here and when you want to change the progress bar
            self.signal_to_send_at_progress_bar.emit()

in your main window:

class mainProgram(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):                   #main window


    def __init__(self, parent=None):

        super(mainProgram, self).__init__(parent)
        self.setupUi(self)
        ###...........#####
        self.thread_class_in_main_window = threaded_class()
        self.thread_class_in_main_window .start()
        self.thread_db.signal_to_send_at_progress_bar.connect(progressBar.setMaximum(100))

You can also emit string and number with signals.
