Thanks, that is exactly what I have done for now, but I thought subclassing dict was more to the point in context of what I was trying to achieve. But I'm happy either way.

Thanks for the advice!

In my opinion, instead of trying to use inheritance, you may want to use 
composition.

Thus, you create a class based on `QtCore.QObject` and make it to keep the 
dictionary you want to
manipulate as an attribute of the class.

Hi all,

I am trying to subclass dict in order to connect it to a QT signal which
will create a value in a predetermined key.

This is what I got:

class CustomDict(dict):
      '''Container for a simple version dictionary to be able to connect
a signal to it'''

      def setData(self, data):
          self['my_custom_data'] = data


However, when I try to connect the setData method I get this:

worker.receivedData.connect(customDict.setData)

TypeError: unhashable type: 'CustomDict'


Can somebody help me understand what's going on?

Cheers,
frank
