Using enum elements from C++ Qt Object in python #71
Description
Activity
I think you may need to provide a self-defined wrapper class for your own class.
And define the enums in the wrapper class.
My test code is below:wrapper code:
class TestCppObj { public: ///... other functions }; class TestCppObjWrapper : public QObject { Q_OBJECT public: enum TestEnum { A, B, C }; /// define enums here! Q_ENUMS(TestEnum) public slots: ///... other slots for this type
register code:
PythonQt::self()->registerCPPClass("TestCppObj", "", "TestUtils", PythonQtCreateObject<TestCppObjWrapper>, PythonQtSetInstanceWrapperOnShell<TestCppObjShell>);
python code:
print(dir(PythonQt.TestUtils.TestCppObj))
output:
['A', 'B', 'C', 'TestEnum', #the defined enums are here！ '__bool__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getstate__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'className', 'delete', 'help', 'inherits', 'passToCPP', 'print']
Defining a custom wrapper class for a QObject-derived class should not be necessary if all required methods already are slots, since then PythonQt can determine all necessary information from the data in QMetaType. The same normally goes for enum types that are registered with Q_ENUM.
This issue is quite old, so I don't know if this is still relevant. Usually the enum type and the values should be available, since they are derived from the QMetaType, so I have no explanation for this behavior.
Short
In Python not found enum elements from C++ class derived from QObject added to PythonQt via addDecorators() and registerClass(QMetaObject*).
Versions
Qt 5.12.8
Python 3.8.10
g++ (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) 9.4.0
PythonQt master fb16d6e on 3 Nov 2021
Example Code
Add to std example PyDecoratorsExample
ExternalWidget.h
ExternalWidget.cpp
add to main.cpp
add to example.py
add ExternalWidget.h and ExternalWidget.cpp to HEADERS a SOURCES in PyDecoratorsExample.pro
In python console can use
dir(QtGui.ExternalWidget)There are no enum elements Aone, Atwo e.t.c. and enum EType
Whats wrong???
I try to use Q_ENUMS() and result is the same. :(
