I am trying to implement a simple validator for a QLineEdit. To do this you should inherit from QtGui.QValidator and overload the method validate(). The validate method should then return either of the flags:

QtGui.QValidator.Invalid
QtGui.QValidator.Intermediate
QtGui.QValidator.Acceptable

Below is included a simple example that always returns QtGui.QValidator.Acceptable. Nevertheless, the programs raises the error

 TypeError: invalid result type from Validator.validate()

no matter what you type in the line edit.

Any suggestions?

Best, Mads


import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui

class Validator(QtGui.QValidator):
   def __init__(self, parent=None):
       QtGui.QValidator.__init__(self, parent)

   def validate(self, string, pos):
       return QtGui.QValidator.Acceptable
if __name__ == "__main__":
   app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

   line_edit = QtGui.QLineEdit()
   line_edit.setValidator(Validator())
   line_edit.show()

   sys.exit(app.exec_())
