Hi all,
Im writing a PyQt app that takes some input in one widget, and then processes some text files.
What ive got at the moment is when the user clicks the "process" button a seperate window with a QTextEdit in it pops up, and ouputs some logging messages.
On Mac OS X this window is refreshed automatically and you cna see the process.
On Windows, the window reports (Not Responding) and then once all the proccessing is done, the log output is shown. Im assuming I need to refresh the window after each write into the log, and ive had a look around at using a timer. etc, but havnt had much luck in getting it working.
Below is the source code. It has two files, GUI.py which does all the GUI stuff and MOVtoMXF that does all the processing.
GUI.py
import os
import sys
import MOVtoMXF
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
class Form(QDialog):
def process(self):
path = str(self.pathBox.displayText())
if(path == ''):
QMessageBox.warning(self, "Empty Path", "You didnt fill something out.")
return
xmlFile = str(self.xmlFileBox.displayText())
if(xmlFile == ''):
QMessageBox.warning(self, "No XML file", "You didnt fill something.")
return
outFileName = str(self.outfileNameBox.displayText())
if(outFileName == ''):
QMessageBox.warning(self, "No Output File", "You didnt do something")
return
print path + " " + xmlFile + " " + outFileName
mov1 = MOVtoMXF.MOVtoMXF(path, xmlFile, outFileName, self.log)
self.log.show()
rc = mov1.ScanFile()
if( rc < 0):
print "something happened"
#self.done(0)

AND MOVtoMXF.py

import FileUtils

import re

#Class to do the MOVtoMXF stuff.
def __init__(self, path, xmlFile, outputFile, edit):

self.outputDirectory = outputFile.rsplit('/',1)
self.outputDirectory = self.outputDirectory[0]
sys.stdout = OutLog( edit, sys.stdout)
class OutLog():
def __init__(self, edit, out=None, color=None):
"""(edit, out=None, color=None) -> can write stdout, stderr to a
QTextEdit.
edit = QTextEdit

color = alternate color (i.e. color stderr a different color)
"""
self.edit = edit
self.out = None
self.color = color
def write(self, m):
if self.color:
tc = self.edit.textColor()
self.edit.setTextColor(self.color)
#self.edit.moveCursor(QtGui.QTextCursor.End)
self.edit.insertPlainText( m )
if self.color:
self.edit.setTextColor(tc)
if self.out:
self.out.write(m)
self.edit.show()
If any other code is needed (i think this is all that is needed) then just let me know.
Any Help would be great.
