Hi!
I'm fairly new to Python, and installed pyqt5 and began working
through the examples at http://zetcode.com/gui/pyqt5/menustoolbars/
However, whenever I click one of the buttons or menus in the
example apps I run that is supposed to quit the application, it
locks up.
What is 'it'? And what does 'lock up' mean? Did the gui freeze and not
disappear? Or did IDLE itself freeze, and even the menu quit working?
This happens with all the examples I installed that
handle code to quit the app.
Running Ubuntu 15.10, and installed pyqt5 via:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 sudo apt-get install qtcreator
I just read somewhere that the issue could be because I was trying to
run these examples from within Idle.
I am an IDLE maintainer. Am I to take it that everything ran fine
before you tried to quit? If not, I would want to know why and try to fix.
If you run tut.py from an IDLE editor, IDLE tries to run it the same as
if you ran it at a console in the tut.py directory with 'python3 -i
tut.py'. I can imagine that there might be a problem with the
transition from gui mode to interactive shell mode, though it works for
tkinter apps. You said 'python3 tut.py' works. What happens if you add
the '-i' option? I'd like to know if the transition problem is in
(Py)qt5 or in IDLE's simulation of '-i'.
