How to call function with arguments using QThread [PySide6]

Andresfe

Is there any way to call QThread::create using PySide6? I want to call a function which uses some arguments in a new Thread. Is subclassing QThread the only way to do this right know?
Something like this:

class Threader(QThread):
    def __init__(self, func, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.func = func
        self.arg = None
                  
        def run(self):
            self.func(self.arg)

Then calling threader.arg before calling threader.start(). I feel like there has to be another way.

Thanks!

I do not know about Qt6 and/or PySide6. But at Qt 5.10 this was introduced:

static template <typename Function, typename Args> QThread *QThread::create(Function &&f, Args &&... args)

to allow just that --- the passing of arbitrary arguments to a created QThread. Can you access that?

[EDIT: Hmm, I see it is missing at https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/PySide6/QtCore/QThread.html#static-functions]

Otherwise before that I think one had to do just as you say --- sub-class and store arguments for run() (e.g. as per accepted solutuon at https://stackoverflow.com/a/7864748/489865).

Hi,

I would ask this question on the PySide mailing list. The method is also not available in PySide2 as it seems.
