AttributeError: 'testclass' object has no attribute 'moveToThread'

Hello!

Ive been trying to run a class on a different thread, but its thowing an error and I cannot figure out why.

The error I get: AttributeError: 'testclass' object has no attribute 'moveToThread'
relevant code is below.

My setup:

main.py contains the code posted below,
TelegramClass.py contains the code I want to run on a new thread.

in the main.py file i have this code:

import TelegramClass
...
class Ui_MainWindow(object):
        ...
        self.TelegramThread()

 def TelegramThread(self):
        self.telegramThread = QThread()
        self.telegramWorker = TelegramClass.testclass()
        self.telegramWorker.moveToThread(self.telegramThread)
        self.telegramThread.start()

in my TelegramClass.py:

class testclass():
 def __init__(self):
        self.run()
 def run(self):
        print("ok")

what am I doing wrong?
Any help appreciated.

testclass needs to inherit from QObject.

Thank you,

i changed it to this, and now it works:

class testclass(QObject):
    def __init__(self):
        QObject.__init__(self)
        self.run()

    def run(self):
        print("ok")

but now I am facing a new problem when I try to connect a signal:

if I add this before i call the start():

      self.telegramThread = QThread()
      self.telegramWorker = TelegramClass.testclass()                
      self.telegramWorker.moveToThread(self.telegramThread)
      self.tgSignal.connect(self.telegramWorker.run)       
      self.telegramThread.start()

I get the error message:

TypeError: Ui_MainWindow cannot be converted to PyQt5.QtCore.QObject in this context

No idea, sorry.

What line of code causes this?

self.tgSignal.connect(self.telegramWorker.run)

this one

@Igor86

class Ui_MainWindow(object):

self.tgSignal.connect(self.telegramWorker.run)
TypeError: Ui_MainWindow cannot be converted to PyQt5.QtCore.QObject in this context

If self is Ui_MainWindow that too will need to inherit QObject, you have it only from object? Everything which emits a signal, and probably in practice anything which has a slot, needs to derive from QObject.

@JonB thank you, nwo it works!
