A dynamically updating GUI screen from URL

[bescf]

You should use another thread that make a request every second or so, and emit a signal to update the value of your GUI.

#!/usr/bin/python3
# Threading example with QThread and moveToThread (PyQt5)
import sys
import time
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtCore

class WorkerThread(QtCore.QObject):
    signalExample = QtCore.pyqtSignal(str, int)

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    @QtCore.pyqtSlot()
    def run(self):
        while True:
            # Long running task ...
            self.signalExample.emit("leet", 1337)
            time.sleep(5)

class Main(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.worker = WorkerThread()
        self.workerThread = QtCore.QThread()
        self.workerThread.started.connect(self.worker.run)  # Init worker run() at startup (optional)
        self.worker.signalExample.connect(self.signalExample)  # Connect your signals/slots
        self.worker.moveToThread(self.workerThread)  # Move the Worker object to the Thread object
        self.workerThread.start()

    def signalExample(self, text, number):
        print(text)
        print(number)

if __name__== '__main__':
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
    gui = Main()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

First of al, I tried this. I added socket function, HOST adress, PORT number and some rows for client. My output should be distance "data".

self.signalExample.emit("distance", data)
.
.
.
    def signalExample(self, text, data):
        print(text)
        print(data)

But instead of data, there are many different large numbers in gui widget. I cant reach data on IP.

Maybe I must share all of them for you.

import sys
import time
import socket
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtCore

HOST = '192.168.1.33'  # The server's hostname or IP address
PORT = 80        # The port used by the server

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
    s.connect((HOST, PORT))
    s.sendall(b'Hello, world')
    data = s.recv(1024)
    print(data)

class WorkerThread(QtCore.QObject):
    signalExample = QtCore.pyqtSignal(str, int)
 
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
 
    @QtCore.pyqtSlot()
    def run(self):
        while True:
            # Long running task ...
            self.signalExample.emit("distance", data)
            time.sleep(5)
 
class Main(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.worker = WorkerThread()
        self.workerThread = QtCore.QThread()
        self.workerThread.started.connect(self.worker.run)  # Init worker run() at startup (optional)
        self.worker.signalExample.connect(self.signalExample)  # Connect your signals/slots
        self.worker.moveToThread(self.workerThread)  # Move the Worker object to the Thread object
        self.workerThread.start()
 
    def signalExample(self, text, data):
        print(text)
        print(data)
 
if __name__== '__main__':
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
    gui = Main()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Output:
PS C:\Users\User> & "C:/Program Files/Python37/python.exe" c:/Users/User/Desktop/PYQT/time_socket.py
b'52'
distance
1895228464
distance
1895228464

For example, 52 cm is right but i cant understand what is other big number.
