Right. I do remember noticing that when I opened one of the .ui files.
Thanks for the instructions. I'm tackling signals and slots next. I'll
be reading your post a few times, I'm sure. For the time being, just to
get myself off the ground and see some output, I imported my functions
from cnt.py into my main with 'from cnt import cnt'. Then I passed my
QTextEdit object into my python code and output the contents of my file
with:
f = file("filename", 'r')
for line in f:
QTxtObj.insertPlainText(line)
Maybe you could point out some problems with doing it this way, but I'm at
the point now where I have to learn how to handle signals and slots. I'm
setting up an input dialog with several options, such as download a URL,
choose an existing file.
Your information will come in handy.
