Thanks very much for your patience with me and thanks for the help
everyone.
This is my end result:
self.api = apiConnection(self.userID,self.apiKey)
xmlData = self.api.returnXml()
if(xmlData != "None"):
struct = ET.fromstring(xmlData)
self.charIDs =[]
i=0
for node in struct.findall('result/rowset/row'):
char = node.attrib['name']
id = node.attrib['characterID']
temp = char, id
#append them to the variable for later
self.charIDs.append(temp)
i+=1
#Setup the select window and run it
#selects which character I want
self.selectCharUi = selectChar(self,self.charIDs)
self.selectCharUi.selectWindow.exec_()
#Get the name that was selected
self.selectedCharName = self.selectCharUi.returnValue
()
#Set the text widget with the name
self.lE_charID.setText(self.selectedCharName)
#enable the Ok button
self.pbOk.setEnabled(True)
It collects the names and IDs, sends them to a pyqt4 window with a
list widget to list the names, a name gets selected and then I get the
name that was selected. Though now that I think about it, maybe using
a dictionary would be better. Elsewhere I gather up the userID, apiID,
characterName and characterID and write it t a file. I hope it doesn't
look too horrible.
John - my programming experience was two semesters of c++ about 6
years ago. Everything else I've learned from the internet. =/
I'll try to make my questions better next time.
