I am developping a Python GUI application with pyqt. I need to keep the python console responsive while using the GUI, so my GUI is started in a another thread, in this way :
class AppThread(Thread):
def __init__(self):
Thread.__init__(self)
def run(self):
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
app = QtWidgets.QApplication.instance()
if app is None:
app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
from mywindow import MyWindow # The code of the window is in another python script
gui = MyWindow()
gui.show()
app.exec_()
if __name__ == '__main__' :
myapp = AppThread()
The GUI is working well, but when I close it, I get the following error :
QObject::~QObject: Timers cannot be stopped from another thread
Of course, I don't get this error if I run directly the code :
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
app = QtWidgets.QApplication.instance()
if app is None:
app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
from mywindow import MyWindow # The code of the window is in another python script
gui = MyWindow()
gui.show()
app.exec_()
My question is then how to get rid of this error when instantiating a gui in a thread that is not the main one ?
