Interfacing from Python to GUI

[HMartins]

Hi.

I have written some Python code and is works OK. I now need to, say, interface it better with the user, myself

I got QT Designer and configured some dialogues including a textEdit widget called textEdit_log.

The code which I don’t understand much, looks like this:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5 import uic

def main():
    app = QApplication([])
    window = PlotGUI()
    app.exec_()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()


class PlotGUI(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super(PlotGUI, self).__init__()
        uic.loadUi("PlotGUI.ui", self)
        self.show()

        self.textEdit_log.append("Hi!")

As a result of last line above “Hi!” shows up in textEdit_log. Perfect

The problem is that I am struggling to find out how can I append text to textEdit_log from outside PlotGUI code, I mean, from ‘regular’ Python code.

Having understood how to solve this problem I will probably solve the other similar difficulties.

I hope this post is according to the rules

Thank you
