while learning PyQt5 i found a little problem( maybe a bug) in the ListWidget Widget (and all other widgets)
the ListWidget
have a addItem
method overloaded :
( the code is in c++ but this is the same interface in pyqt )
void addItem(const QString &label)
void addItem(QListWidgetItem *item)
void addItems(const QStringList &labels)
so the problem is that in PyQt5 there is no more QStringList
type, and i should use a simple list of strings instead of the QStringList
but when i receive and error telling me that no method match the given paramaters :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 21, in <module>
listWidget.addItem(ls)
TypeError: arguments did not match any overloaded call:
addItem(self, QListWidgetItem): argument 1 has unexpected type 'list'
addItem(self, str): argument 1 has unexpected type 'list'
Here is my code :
from PyQt5 import QtGui, QtCore, QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
import sys
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
listWidget = QListWidget()
listWidget.show()
ls = ['test', 'test2', 'test3']
listWidget.addItem('test')
listWidget.addItem('test2')
listWidget.addItem('test3')
listWidget.addItem(ls)
sys.exit(app.exec_())
If you want to add a list you must use the function addItems()
.
Change:
listWidget.addItem(ls)
to
listWidget.addItems(ls)
