I'm playing around with the 'irclib' library working with the first example at http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Python/IRC-on-a-Higher-Level-Concluded/
When copying the example verbatim and running it from a console it works flawlessly. It connects to the server, join the channel and sits there 'forever'... However, I want to use it in a PyQt application and have done the following. I have created a module named 'irclibtest.py' that looks like this: ### irclibtest start ### import irclib irclib.DEBUG = True class Conn: def __init__(self): # Network information self.network = '192.x.x.x' self.port = 6667 self.channel = '#test' self.nick = 'IRClibt' self.name = 'Python Test' # Subclass SimpleIRCClient class ClientClass ( irclib.SimpleIRCClient ): pass # Create an instance of ClientClass and connect. self.client = ClientClass() self.client.connect ( self.network, self.port, self.nick, ircname = self.name ) self.client.connection.join ( self.channel ) ##irclibtest end ### And my main Qt application: ### Main application start ### #!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import sys, irclib from PyQt4 import QtGui , QtCore from tircUI import Ui_MainWindow from irclibtest import Conn class TircMain(QtGui.QMainWindow , Conn): def __init__(self): QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self ) Conn.__init__(self) self.ui = Ui_MainWindow() self.ui.setupUi(self) self.connect(self.ui.sendButton, QtCore.SIGNAL("clicked()"), self.doSend) def doSend(self): ''' Just a test to see if I can send to channel''' self.client.connection.privmsg('#test' , 'Test text') if __name__ == "__main__": app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) f = TircMain() f.show() sys.exit(app.exec_()) ### Main application end ## The problem is that this pings out (PING timeout). As far as I understand it rclib.SimpleIRCClient is supposed to handle PING-PONG with the server so I don't understand why it does not in my Qt test, but it does 'raw'. I can send to the channel right up to the point it times out by the way. Anyone know what I'm missing here? Thanks Tina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
