Need Qt SerialPort class example using signals and slots WITHIN A THREAD

[prof.ebral]

That doesn't work for me. I only receive the MainThread print statement in my terminal.

edit: wysota, here is some modified code and the output. Even after the Object class is moved to the Thread class I still get the main thread's ID ... but for me the signal is not being caught by the Object's reportThread method.

from PyQt4 import QtCore
import sys, time
 
class Object(QtCore.QObject):
    def __init__(self):
        QtCore.QObject.__init__(self)
 
    def reportThread(self):
        print self, (QtCore.QThread.currentThreadId())
 
class Thread(QtCore.QThread):
    def __init__(self):
        QtCore.QThread.__init__(self)
 
    def reportThread(self):
        print self, (QtCore.QThread.currentThreadId())
 
app = QtCore.QCoreApplication(sys.argv)
thr = Thread()
obj = Object()
obj.moveToThread(thr)
print obj, obj.thread(), obj.thread().currentThreadId()
thr.start()
 
timer = QtCore.QTimer()
print ( "MainThread "+str(QtCore.QThread.currentThreadId()) )
timer.timeout.connect(obj.reportThread)
timer.timeout.connect(thr.reportThread)
timer.start(2000)
 
t2 = QtCore.QTimer()
t2.timeout.connect(app.quit)
t2.start(10000)
app.exec_()

from PyQt4 import QtCore
import sys, time

class Object(QtCore.QObject):
    def __init__(self):
        QtCore.QObject.__init__(self)

    def reportThread(self):
        print self, (QtCore.QThread.currentThreadId())

class Thread(QtCore.QThread):
    def __init__(self):
        QtCore.QThread.__init__(self)

    def reportThread(self):
        print self, (QtCore.QThread.currentThreadId())

app = QtCore.QCoreApplication(sys.argv)
thr = Thread()
obj = Object()
obj.moveToThread(thr)
print obj, obj.thread(), obj.thread().currentThreadId()
thr.start()

timer = QtCore.QTimer()
print ( "MainThread "+str(QtCore.QThread.currentThreadId()) )
timer.timeout.connect(obj.reportThread)
timer.timeout.connect(thr.reportThread)
timer.start(2000)

t2 = QtCore.QTimer()
t2.timeout.connect(app.quit)
t2.start(10000)
app.exec_()
