In looking at the lists archives, I see that most of the participants seem to be experienced developers. As a novice programmer I hope I am not intruding by asking some basic questions.
I am working my way through examples in a PySide book I bought. According to the author the example should display a 200 x 150 window, pause 3 seconds and then display a 300 x 300 window. On my system (Ubuntu 12.04) there is a approx 3 second delay after starting the program and then I see the 300 x 300 window. I never see the first window. Could someone explain to me why it does not act as described? # Import required modules import sys import time from PySide.QtGui import QApplication, QWidget class SampleWindow(QWidget): """ Our main window class """ # Constructor function def __init__(self): QWidget.__init__(self) self.setWindowTitle("Sample Window") self.setGeometry(300, 300, 200, 150) self.setMinimumHeight(100) self.setMinimumWidth(250) self.setMaximumHeight(200) self.setMaximumWidth(800) if __name__ == '__main__': # Exception Handling try: myApp = QApplication(sys.argv) myWindow = SampleWindow() myWindow.show() time.sleep(3) myWindow.resize(300, 300) myWindow.setWindowTitle("Sample Window Resized") myWindow.repaint() myApp.exec_() sys.exit(0) except NameError: print("Name Error:", sys.exc_info()[1]) except SystemExit: print("Closing Window...") except Exception: print (sys.exc_info()[1]) Thanks, Jim _______________________________________________ PySide mailing list PySide@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/pyside
