Issue with Worker Class when used with QTables
Moved
Unsolved
Qt for Python
-
@imissthecommandline said in Issue with Worker Class when used with QTables:
unclear what is going on at this point
To make things clear, you could post what you did exactly and let others have a look :)
I smell bad design or unallowed/blocking UI access. -
Here's all of the code, let me know what i messed up.
Sorry if it's messy, this is my first time with pyqt

Urgh, PyQt :)
You should have mentioned that before or post that in Qt for Python category.
Since I can't spot the issue from the first glance and I'm currently not able to run your code, I can't help you. -
got it, posting over there
thank you for looking!
-
Don't need to post it again.
Some mod (@moderators) might move this post there. -
got it, thank you

Hi,
This is more than 600 lines of pretty convoluted code that uses way too many globals.
If you want an answer please reduce it so that it can be used to reproduce your issue. -

ouch, sorry about thathere's a version with pretty much all but the essentials removed:

What is the procedure to reproduce your issue with that version ?
By the way it crashes on line 210 when clicking "Start a thread" on the "Connection management" tab. -
@SGaist the connected function on line 210 should be
lambda: self.threadstarter(arbitrary_task))I messed up switching it out for the simplified version.
If you click the start thread button a bunch of times, the program lags, but only when going to a tab with a table or from a tab with a table removing the connections tab table removes the lag.
To reproduce:
Run Program
Click on Connections Tab
Click the start thread button 8 or so times
Click around the tabsI think pyqt6 might have a hard time managing threads and tables, but it's probably my implementation, as this is my first time with pyqt6
Thank you
-
Ok so i've figured out some interesting things about this:
- Using the .hide() function on the table removes the lag. using .hide() on both of the tables before starting a new thread then .show() after the thread is started moderately reduces the lag.
- Completely reinitializing the table by removing the widget from the layout then adding it again after starting a new thread reduces the lag more than method 1, but there's still some noticeable lag
3.Adding the tables AFTER starting the threads has no impact at all, the lag is just as bad
Still not sure what the issue is though
Here's the code for anyone insane enough to try and help

sorry, i used this one: https://www.pythonguis.com/tutorials/multithreading-pyqt6-applications-qthreadpool/
-
ok, so what is happening is that every thread is making several calls to the table model every time the tab is opened. is there a way you recommend to prevent this? @SGaist
-
You can implement a debouncer. For example, accumulate a certain amount of changes and only then signal that the model has changed to minimize the amount of time the views will query the model.
Also, don't forget to properly use lock mechanism to avoid writing to the same object from multiple different threads.
