[SOLVED] pyside (or pyqt4) stdio & combo box problem

sharky · 04-15-2014, 05:01 PM

This is the code I am using.

Code:

def init_combo(self):
        recent = ResDir + '/combo_list.sh'
        process = subprocess.Popen([recent], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
        combo_list = process.communicate()[0]
        for workspace in combo_list:
            self.cmbWorkspaces.addItem(workspace)

The 'combo_list.sh' script returns directory paths one line at a time. My intent is to add each path to the combo box. Unfortunately, each character is getting added instead.

Any tips on how to get lines instead of characters from stdio into the combo box is appreciated.

Cheers,

If combo_list needs to be split into a list of lines, then use combo_list.split('\n') to split it.

As in:

Code:

combo_list = process.communicate()[0]
combo_list = combo_list.split('\n')
for workspace in combo_list:

And pardon this unsolicited advice, but I find it very unlikely that combo_list.sh won't be better if it's a) written in Python and b) part of your main PyQt application. If you need help porting it, I can provide assistance.
