I have an application I'm writing using PyQt. I'm trying to create the various windows by subclassing Qt objects. I have a subclassed QMainWindow as the parent, and then a series of subclassed QWidgets as other child windows that get used. How can I pass variables back and forth between the parent and child windows? For example, if I have a child window that processes a customer lookup I want the retrieved values to be passed back to the QMainWindow. I have tried using global variables, but these variables seem to be global only in the sense of each subclassed object. Not between the subclassed objects.
Here's a generic sample: parent_window.py ============= my_value = 'main' from child_window import * class Parent_Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): QMainWindow.__init__(self,None,'application main window',Qt.WDestructiveClose) print my_value child_window= Child_Window() self.setCentralWidget(child_window) self.catchEvent() child_window.py ============ class Child_Window(QWidget): def __init__(self): QWidget.__init__(self) print my_value This doesn' t seem to work, as the Child_Window class doesn't recognize the my_value global variable that appears in the Parent_Window class. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
