[Panel-devel] PyQt - Check boxes - Qt Designer

[Matt]

Hello again,

I have hit another snag, and was wondering if you would be able to help me 
again.  If not, let me know, and I'll take the hint.

I'm trying to launch my application from within another python script.  I have 
a .py file called test_gui.py, which subclasses the actual pyqt application.  
It looks like:


#!/usr/bin/python

from qt import *
from lwp_config import *
import sys

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    f = lwp_config()
    test = 0
    f.general_units_metric.setChecked(test)
    f.show()
    app.setMainWidget(f)
    app.exec_loop()

However, I want to launch it from within another python application, and I 
thought I could just use the import statement, and treat the application as 
an object, I use this code:

    from qt import *
    from lwp_config import *
    import sys
    app = QApplication(['test'])
    f = lwp_config()
    test = 0
    f.general_units_metric.setChecked(test)
    f.show()
    app.setMainWidget(f)
    app.exec_loop()

I've put ['test'] in the QApplication statement, because it requires an 
argument, which appears needs to be a list.  HOwever, when I do this I get an 
error:

QApplication: There should be max one application object

Are you able to give me any hints on how to launch the application by treating 
it as an object from another script?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Matt
