PyQt5 has a unique signal and slot mechanism to deal with events. Signals and slots are used for communication between objects. A signal is emitted when a particular event occurs. A slot can be any Python callable. A slot is called when its connected signal is emitted.
Each PyQt widget, which is derived from QObject class, is designed to emit 'signal' in response to one or more events. The signal on its own does not perform any action. Instead, it is 'connected' to a 'slot'. The slot can be any callable Python function.
Im trying to build a calculator with PyQt4 and connecting the 'clicked()' signals from the buttons doesn't work as expected. Im creating my buttons for the numbers inside a for loop where i try to connect them afterwards.
def __init__(self):
for i in range(0,10):
self._numberButtons += [QPushButton(str(i), self)]
self.connect(self._numberButtons[i], SIGNAL('clicked()'), lambda : self._number(i))
def _number(self, x):
print(x)
When I click on the buttons all of them print out '9'. Why is that so and how can i fix this?
