not able to receive SIGNAL

[thefriedc]

i'm sorry - there are no slot macros in pyqt (at least i don't know them ) - the connect statements are totally correct for pyqt.

the problem was the way i did instantiate the parent class QObject. i'm kinda new to python and there are obviously several ways to inherit from classes. although i had access to inherited methods ... the SIGNAL handling did not work when inherited like this:

class ViewController(QtCore.QObject):
 
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtCore.QObject.__init__(self)

class ViewController(QtCore.QObject):
    
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtCore.QObject.__init__(self)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

a strange thing is, that it already works in another class when i instantiate this way but i cannot get it working here ...

-> changing to this is the solution of the problem:

class ViewController(QtCore.QObject):
 
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(ViewController, self).__init__(parent)

class ViewController(QtCore.QObject):
    
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(ViewController, self).__init__(parent)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

so the problem is solved ... at least the SIGNAL thing.
thanks anyway
