[PySide] Signal emitted on a worker thread not being received by main thread

[Algis Kabaila]

IMHO if you remove the sleep(5),  if it still works sometimes, it will 
work every time.  If a sent signal does not find slot, it just "fades 
away".  That is my understanding how it works.  And if the  "sleep" 
between emitting the signal and receiving it is long enough, it will 
always fail.  Try it with sleep(1000) and with sleep(1) and tell us what 
happens.

Could you use the queue in python ? with Queue.get([block[, timeout]]) ?

Hi, Tibold. Thanks for your reply.


If I first move my worker to the new thread and then make the connection 
should it work?


According to the documentation, it would use an auto-connection and since 
emitter and receiver don't have the same thread affinity, it would create 
a queued connection. Is it right?

Hi,
 
I think you’ll have to use queued connection when you connect the 
photoStatus signal to the photoStatus slot. 
 
See:

across-threads 
 
Cheers,
Tibold

Subject: [PySide] Signal emitted on a worker thread not being received by 
main thread 
 
Hi,
 
I am facing an intermittent problem with my PySide application. I have a 
GUI that spawns several threads that are responsible for sending photos to 
a web server. The threads are created as shown bellow: 
 
photoConnectionThread = QThread()
photoConnectionObject = http_connection.PhotoConnection(self.filename) 
photoConnectionObject.photoStatus.connect(self.photoStatus)             
photoConnectionObject.moveToThread(photoConnectionThread) 
photoConnectionThread.started.connect(photoConnectionObject.work)
photoConnectionThread.finished.connect(self.threadFinished) 
photoConnectionThread.start()
 
My worker thread tries to upload a photo only once and then emits a signal 
to the main thread so that the status can be updated in a database.  
 
def work(self):
                        logger.info("photo object created on thread " + 
str(self.thread())) 
                        status = sendPhoto(self.filename)
                        self.photoStatus.emit(self.filename, status) 
                        QThread.sleep(5)
                        logger.info("exiting thread " + 
str(self.thread())) 
                        self.thread().exit(0)
 
The problem is that, sporadically, the main thread does not receive the 
signal and consequently doesn't get the status updated. 
 
Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?
 
I am using:
Python 2.7
PySide 1.1.1

Thank you!
